If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, you should stop by White Walls on Saturday, May 1st from 7-11pm for their opening reception of “Faces in the Mirror” by Blek le Rat and “Transitions” by ABOVE: This exhibition brings together the original pioneer stencil artist and his younger counterpart utilizing stencils to create public art in over 40 countries around the world. More info and pictures after the bump! 
This homage to stencil art marks Blek le Rat’s first show in San Francisco as well as the debut indoor exhibition of ABOVE. The meeting of these two artists is a passing of the torch from the original stencil artist to a younger generation of urban artists following in his legacy. Blek let Rat first pioneered stencils in the early 80s as a bold, attention grabbing form of street art that was never before seen. ABOVE is the prominent stencil artist of the new generation, drawing on Blek’s methods to project a social message into the urban environment. [gallery columns=”3” link=”file”]
