French artist JR seems to be happy to be out of lockdown: for the past couple of days, he has been scattering works a bit everywhere in Paris. After causing a sensation with his anamorphosis at the Trocadero, staging the Eiffel Tower, the street artist has decided to play with the walls of the boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris 7th arrondissement.
At the corner of the Le Rouquet restaurant, you can see a giant photograph collage showing a man jumping over the wall. This work is called “No Trespassing”.
On this beautiful spring day, JR and his work seems to invite us to play hooky. Let us unleash the rebel teen sleeping in us and follow this mysterious silhouette. Trust him, he is taking us to a party in Saint-Germain.
An iconic, living and modern festival, Parcours Saint-Germain, is turning 20 this year. On the occasion, the Parcours Saint-Germain has a few surprises in store, starting with JR’s gigantic works of art kicking the party off.
What is sure is JR’s works are still all the rage: a long queue of people to access the best outlook and shot this new mural trompe-l’oeil.
Discover the rest of the Parcours Saint-Germain 2021 program, a very festive festival!
