The Artist JR

For those who don't know who JR is, JR is a artist/ photographer who was born in Paris, France. 
JR has done many projects, but the most known one would be " Face 2 Face ", back in 2007. It was the biggest illegal exhibition. 
Face 2 Face was portraits of Israelis and Palestinians face to face in eight of Israelis and Palestinians Cities. Although he was told he couldn't do it, and it wasn't possible JR continued to prove them all wrong. 
I personally really enjoy his art work and the way he believes in himself  and his artwork. I think that, that's one of the main reason he is where he is now, believing in him self and what he does.

JR's artwork is really amazing and he is a wonderful artist. My favorite project of his work would have to be the one he titles "Unframed". 
Here are some of the photos in this project that he took: 

The reason why I like this particular project of JRS is because I think it has a lot of meaning behind it. Each one is unique and tells a little story. I like how he takes normal places and scenery and makes them into art and makes them his own new masterpieces. 
I think that after researching JR and getting to know more about him and his style, and life has made me the most connected to him than any other artist. He puts so much of himself in his art and I really admire that about him.
