JR – Artist
JR owns the biggest art gallery in the world. He exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not the museum visitors. His work mixes Art and Act, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit.
After he found a camera in the Paris subway, he did a tour of European Street Art, tracking the people who communicate messages via the walls. Then, he started to work on the vertical limits, watching the people and the passage of life from the forbidden undergrounds and roofs of the capital.

Paintings of Paris : Châtelet-Les Halles-Rivoli
The Grand Chatelet, the medieval fortress defending the access to the Grand Pont and the Ile de la Cité, also the seat of royal power, was destroyed in 1808 under Napoleon’s order. In 1862, the elegant square and the sumptuous Theatre du Chatelet were built up and inaugurated on its old location. From the 12th to the 20th century, the neighborhood was bustling with activity. The proximity of the Halles, the great central market and the « belly of Paris » has made the district the most crowded in the capital. Monet, Cortes Laloue, Luce remind us with great prowess.
