I dunno, maybe it could have been done differently with a more important message behind it.

New JR Piece Paris, by dp on May 19, 2021 12:01:18 GMT 1, JR is involved in a lot of projects that you don't see, not just these more commercial works of art.
A couple of years ago he and Ladj Ly (the guy in the photo) started a flim school in Clichy-Montfermeil where the photo was taken. He also funds a permanent social project, the Casa Amarela, in the favela in Rio where he did some of his famous works. In Paris he also works for a kitchen providing food for refugees, Refetorio. He funds his pro-bono stuff with his own work.
With JR, his art is very much about the process behind it and the encounters it involves, not just the end result.

He definitely enjoys having fun with pieces like this and the one with Harold Lloyd on the side of the cinema and of course the Louvre pyramid. He likes playful work that people can interact with and I know that since the early days he never liked being put in a box i.e. that his work has to be a certain thing or style...
Also for people who don't know, Ladj Ly made "Les Misรฉrables" a film that won Cannes Jury prize and was nominated for the Oscars...

New JR Piece Paris, by Javier on May 19, 2021 13:37:31 GMT 1, I like his works very much. Maybe in flesh itโs not easy to find the exact place to watch it properly, as he forces a lot perspective to get such an stunning effects, but sure it worths the effort. Unfortunately I was in paris last august/September and tried to see his recent George Floyd work, but after a long long walk it wasnโt already there anymore (Perrotin had an exhibition I would like to go but I had no time enough). Heโs my big miss in urban art.
Maybe sometimes he gets better effects than others, (the Ladj Ly picture is a masterpiece, comparisons with that is a bit tricky)๐, but anyway heโs one of the greatests. No doubt about that
Problem: his art is difficult to capture in a print. Maybe better in a picture than in a print, and we all love prints. (After saying this I must admit I owe a Giants Kikito and itโs one of the favorite pieces in my collection)
And his social work is impressive. During the lockdown he was every day helping people in need
I leave you a link of Perrotin store (most of you already know it), and I highly recommend to those who still donโt know it too much, buy a book and admire his work)
storeparis.perrotin.com/collections/jr
(Thereโs also a book in Amazon for the lazy ones)

New JR Piece Paris, by dp on May 19, 2021 14:05:24 GMT 1, the optical illusion technique he uses is called "anarmophosis"
one of the first examples of this was his favela steps work, where he cut a giant photo into tiny strips of different sizes, and stuck these on each individual step in order to create one giant image

New JR Piece Paris, by Rouen Cathedral on May 20, 2021 2:30:09 GMT 1, Iโm a fan
JR is a true artist. Not sure why so many knock him and is popularity seems to have been stunted.
He creates beautiful works, has incredible concepts and seems to really ingrained himself in the communities he works.

I'm sure the Paris work will be released in a print any time soon on Social Animals...
