Street art from JR

I saw a really interesting piece on BBC2′s Culture Show last night about French street photographer, JR He came to the world’s attention during the 2005 Paris riots for flyposting large B&W images on public buildings as a way of challenging media stereotypes. Now his work can be seen in the flavellas of Brazil, slums of Kenya and bridges of Paris amongst other places and he’s been described as the “Cartier-Bresson of the 21st century”.
