JR

I imagine JR will soon be tagged as the French Banksy if he hasn't been already. His work is mainly photo-based but he goes around sticking his pieces up on walls all over the world. Tempting as it is to come up with a real arty description of his work, I'm going to play it safe and just say that I really like the simple, nitty-gritty nature of his content. Check out more of his stuff here.. in particular check out his photo's of Paris (go to Themes on his website). His black and white stuff reminds me loads of Michel Kassovitz's movie La Haine (1995), which is something else you would do well to check out if you don't know it already.
