Taking a similar path to Banksy in recent days, 2011 TED winner and French artist JR has also made his mark on the City of Angels. His recent work is associated once again with his signature real-life depictions in larger-than-life proportions. The art shown so far will be part of a larger exhibition titled “The Wrinkles of the City” which will be shown as 20 separate pieces across the city, focusing on various Angeleno citizens.
