JR is a French street artist who gained international recognition for his large-format photographic wheatpastes. His practice often involves transforming public spaces into open-air galleries, focusing on themes of identity, community, and social engagement.
His signature work, the Inside Out project, is a global participatory art initiative that allows individuals to share their portraits and stories by displaying them in public locations. He frequently utilizes historic sites and urban architecture as canvases for his monumental black-and-white imagery.
Recent recognition includes major site-specific installations in Italy, such as the 2026 exhibitions at the Piscina Cozzi in Milan and the Rocca Maggiore di Assisi. These projects continue his focus on integrating contemporary photography with historic and public environments.
