Can anyone remember the name of the photographer who does portraits of interesting people and enlarges the images into massive segmented posters which he pastes to the sides of houses till the whole village is a massive gallery? He also pastes them to steps on stairs, and other big buildings…
Anyone know?
Caroline Gorka
Where is he from ? Not the guy that did that exhibition of portraits that was put up on one of the big buildings on Fed Square, Melbourne ??
Anita Schep:
I dont know if he did that in Fed Square…hmmm… but he is indeed ‘JR’ – parisien artist.

Anita Schep:
Ahh.. yes, thats the one!! I didnt know he was parisien… I just saw his work on a website somewhere, and couldnt remember his name later.
Peter Evans
Yeah I do …………………..but I’ve gotten, hehehehehe
Caroline Gorka
Amazing !
Caroline Gorka
A bit into his work….and keeping identity secret here
Anita Schep:
Yeah… a lot like street artist Banksy, who incidentally has hijacked the Bristol Museum (10 mins from here) for an art show of his own! Love their philosophy of challenging people’s perceptions, and making art public and free.
