French Artist JR

Just ran into this slideshow on the BBC featuring JR, a french artist taking over the streets of Rio De Janeiro.

I really enjoyed his work. check out JR’s website.

As an undercover photographer, JR transforms his pictures into posters and makes open space photo galleries out of our streets. An acute observer of our time, as comfortable in cozy neighborhoods as in urban ghettos, he questions pedestrians with the exhibitions he mounts on their everyday commutes. -excerpt from his website.
