This is an exceptional, low-numbered serigraph by Blek le Rat, the founder of the international stencil art movement.
This "Chopin" print captures a rare moment where classical history intersects with contemporary digital culture. The creation of this work was directly inspired by the highly publicized 3D artistic rendering of Chopin's face by artist Hadi Karimi in June 2020.
Blek le Rat responded to this digital 'resurrection' by taking the newly visible face and giving the composer his 21st-century uniform for the street:
The Look: The stencil shows Chopin's formal coat paired with modern elements—the implied jeans or contemporary trousers and, most tellingly, modern trainers (sneakers) on his feet.
The Meaning: By putting Chopin in footwear designed for walking modern city streets, Blek le Rat finalizes the figure's transformation from a relic of history into an eternal, urban icon.
This print is a highly conceptual piece that commands attention, telling a unique story about art, science, and the digital age.
