What is the origin of the Stencil technique?
The stencil is a technique (industrial or artistic) allowing to reproduce several times the same image on a support, thanks to a cover preventing the paint from covering the support at different places of the composition. This technique has been used for centuries by artisans, but became popular and trendy thanks to its use in the street via graffiti (street art, urban art). It thus allows a fast creation of the work on the public highway, and an easier identical reproduction. The emblematic stencils of our time are Blek le Rat, Jef Aérosol, Miss. Tic, Jérome Mesnager, Banksy or even C215.

What makes this type of artwork so special is the level of detail and precision that can be achieved through the use of stencils.

Origins and History
Contemporary stencil paintings have their roots in the early 20th century, when artists began using stencils to create images with clean lines and bold colors. One of the earliest examples of this technique is the work of Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, who used stencils to create his iconic "Black Square" painting in 1915. During the 1960s and 70s, stencil art became popular among political activists who used it to make political statements and protest against the establishment. This period also saw the rise of street art and graffiti, which further popularized stencil painting as a form of public art.
