Carl in Silverlake, Vertical from the series Wrinkles of the City: Los Angeles
In this large-scale chromogenic print, JR captures an intimate and monumental portrait of Carl, an elderly Los Angeles resident, his deeply lined face rendered in striking black-and-white detail against the urban landscape of Silverlake. Face-mounted to Plexiglas and flush-mounted to Dibond, the work achieves a luminous depth and sleek finish that amplifies the texture and gravity of the subject's weathered features. Part of JR's ongoing series *Wrinkles of the City: Los Angeles*, the photograph continues the artist's global practice of honoring the stories of aging communities by integrating their portraits into the fabric of the city itself.
