Prolific French artist JR continues to produce impactful work, following up his latest public exhibition with a special installation of his “Wrinkles of the City” series. First launched in 2008, the series is meant to visually portray the faces affected by gentrification and rapid urbanization in the world’s largest cities.

Enjoy a look at the gallery above and head on to JR’s Instagram page and website to stay updated with his latest works.
