This artist/photographer JR continues to inspire me everyday. His work is larger than life, literally, and every time I see his new installations, they take my breath away. He produces massive poster-sized canvases from his photographs of victimized African, Asian and South American women and illegally pastes them on buildings, bridges, buses and trains. He frequents slums and shanty towns and transforms them into spectacular visual collages. His work has gained a strong following at Sotheby's and is "unbelievably hot" in the modern art market.
This one is so cool. The train make the eyes on the portraits as it passes through.
