L7M was born in the countryside of São Paulo, in 1988, and since very early he started his relationship with art. In his childhood, he had participated of many contests and had also won many cultural awards. When 13 years old he had his first contact with the spray, which opened his eyes for new tecniques and consequently new experiences and mixtures with china ink, latex, pastel and acrylic. Everything generates the chaos, since the mixture of outlooks and feelings to the materials and medias utilized. The revolt by the human sorrow, the beauty of life, the city’s disarray, the neglect and the surroundings, all this things transposed and influencing the works of this artist, who evolved with all his feelings focused in the street art. L7M, how he’s known, is identified by the simplicity of colors and free geometry relacionated to several issues, causing contradictories and unconfortable feelings in the observers. This is his purpose: bother and inquire by traces and colors reverted in imagistic feelings. Surely his purpose. Actually, L7M is dedicated to independent work in advertising agencies, exhibitions and workshops at enterprises, cultural centers and schools, conciliating with the urban art freely practiced. #l7m #streetart

As a French street artist working in Paris, JR began covering buildings with his photography in 2001. Since then, the Inside Out project has allowed others to join the artist on his efforts by providing printed photographs to anyone who submits their portraits—ready to be pasted in cities around the world. In 2011, a Native American Lakota tribe organized a group action on their reservation in North Dakota with the Inside Out project. Over the past year, JR has been pasting the tribe’s photos around New York City to help share their story. This large scale eye watchfully gazes down at pedestrians on the street, crossing the bridge, and even across the river in Manhattan while blending in with the city’s architecture.
