Infamous street artist, JR (you know, the one responsible for the NYCB installations at the Koch Theater), is at it again. This time, the French artist known for his large-scale black and white images flyposted around the streets of Paris, brings us Bird Ballerina. In this wheatpaper piece, a ballerina sits behind the “bars” of nine shipping containers in the Port Le Havre in France. The resulting image is hauntingly beautiful, an unmistakable sadness exuding from the caged ballerina who patiently awaits her release.
