JR’s Grand-Scale Art Installations Highlighted in Immersive Solo Showcase in Los Angeles
**The Wrinkles of the City, Los Angeles: Lovers on the Roof**
In 2012, the acclaimed French contemporary artist JR, famous for his innovative large-scale photographic installations, produced “The Wrinkles of the City, Los Angeles: Lovers on the Roof, USA.” This captivating work was revealed as part of JR’s extensive series, “The Wrinkles of the City,” which centers on the narratives and history inscribed onto the surfaces of urban spaces. The artwork, a color print mounted on dibond and plexiglass, features a sleek black wooden frame and measures an impressive 49 3/16 x 70 7/8 x 2 3/4 inches.
The Los Angeles version of “The Wrinkles of the City” continued JR’s investigation of personal stories within urban settings. By merging large-scale photographic portraits with the textured surfaces of city architecture, JR sought to integrate personal narratives into the essence of urban landscapes. “Lovers on the Roof” encapsulates the fleeting yet close moments shared among individuals within the expansive, intricate urban fabric of Los Angeles.
Jumping ahead to 2026, JR introduced his newest solo exhibition, “Horizons,” at Perrotin Los Angeles. Renowned for his socially engaged artwork, JR’s “Horizons” builds upon his signature style, fusing human portraiture with architectural and environmental aspects in vivid, immersive formats. The exhibition, running until April 25, 2026, at Perrotin Los Angeles, offers visitors a chance to connect deeply with JR’s vision of identity, memory, and human connection, which thematically continues from works such as “The Wrinkles of the City.”
