A new show is presenting over 15 years of JR’s thought-provoking art
Known for his large-scale photography projects, the elusive artist is presenting his work in JR: Chronicles, his first major show in the UK 26/04/2021 9:05 am
Opening this summer at London’s Saatchi Gallery, JR: Chronicles is a new exhibition encompassing over 15 years of JR’s brand of art as activism.
After finding a camera on the Paris metro in 2001, the French artist has gone on to gain international recognition, an Oscar nomination and a spot on Time’s 100 most influential people. His identity has remained loosely concealed by a hat and sunglasses throughout this time, due to the legal and safety risks associated with his public installations around the world.
