Kikito
JR is the pseudonym of a French photographer and street artist who began his career on the streets of Paris. His moniker is derived from his first name, Jean-René. He is known for flyposting large black-and-white photographic images in public spaces. Referring to himself as a photograffeur—a portmanteau of "photographer" and the French word for graffiti artist—JR has described the street as "the largest art gallery in the world." His work often challenges widely held preconceptions and the reductive images propagated by advertising and the media."
