Overview

Perrotin is pleased to present Outposts by French artist JR, the inaugural exhibition of its new gallery in London. Through more than twenty works, the exhibition presents two series of recent ongoing projects of JR: Déplacé·e·s (begun in 2022) shares the stories of refugee children from around the world which giant portraits enlarging on huge banners visible from the sky give these children back their lost identities, and Les Enfants d’Ouranos (Children of Ouranos), building upon Déplacé·e·s, explore through white silhouettes on black painted wood panels the tensions between the visible and invisible. Alongside these series, the exhibition showcases two video screenings that document the series of Déplacé·e·s.
