JR
JR works at the intersection of photography, public art, filmmaking and social engagement. Over the last two decades, he has created monumental public projects and site-specific interventions in cities all over the world. Whether it be pasting on homes in a Brazilian favela (2008-9), hosting a picnic across the US-Mexico border fence (2017), working alongside 400 volunteers to create a trompe-l’oeil at the Louvre in Paris (2019), or organizing a procession around the enormous banner of a refugee child in the Sahara Desert (2022), JR seeks to involve everyone in the act of artistic creation, hoping to create conversations and drive social change.

“Ethereal” embodies the raw energy of artistic intervention, combining multiple techniques to create a richly textured, one-of-a-kind piece. The interplay of screen printing and giclée techniques provides a dynamic contrast between precision and spontaneity, while the addition of quick-ink and bleach introduces unpredictable organic patterns. Each piece is further hand-finished by Vhils and JR, ensuring a unique final touch that reflects the transformative nature of their collaboration. The larger format enhances the immersive experience, making this edition a profound statement on time, memory, and resilience.

“Leap” captures the essence of movement, ambition, and hope. This high-quality giclée print combines JR’s signature photographic language with Vhils’ unique approach to materiality and texture. The image—a child reaching beyond his immediate reality—is elevated by Vhils’ sculptural sensibility, especially evident in the AP & RN versions, where paste-up elements create a layered, tactile depth. Printed on richly textured paper, this edition reflects the artists’ shared vision of resilience and transcendence, offering a striking testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring strength of human dreams.
