An experienced multimedia artist who first started experimenting with graffiti at just 13-years of age, JR is best known for his large-scale photographic collages of people, which have graced the walls and floors of public spaces in cities across the world.
His images are personal and extremely close up and cleverly disguise the true representation of the picture in its details -- like the 'gun' in his famous portrait of French-Malian man, Ladj Ly.
