JR and Vhils took to the 600 block of Spring Street for two large murals facing each other in a narrow parking lot (permission was received). JR is from France and is known for his known for his large photographs that “highlight humanist matters that are often overlooked.” Portuguese artist Vhils likes to manipulate surfaces, as he did in the portrait of a man by chipping away at the building for a bas-relief effect.
