Lot description
Having always excelled in tromp l'oeil effects, this serigraph by contemporary street artist JR executed in 2011 exemplifies his iconic approach to manipulating the viewer's perception of what's actually seen. As the title suggests, 'Eye Froissé' looks like a creased and crumpled magazine advertisement that seems to curl off the picture plane.

JR is an unidentified, contemporary French photographer and graffiti artist who often creates powerfully stunning works exploring social hierarchies, personal relationships, political issues, and cultural interactions. He’s known for pasting the portraits of people he’s met across Europe across various walls in cities he visits, where he reveals the essence of their humanity. Covering urban landscapes with his work, JR calls himself an “Urban Artivist” engaging the surrounding community not only in experiencing art first hand, but also helping him put up the portraits where they live.
