Graffiti in Beer Sheva

The street art and graffiti scene in Beer sheva is very well developed and presents a large gallery of artwork of various techniques. In this post, I focused only on the Old City area and the Beer sheva Young Center (Herzl 12 St).

On the second floor of the Young Center, I found a large and luxurious complex containing about twenty graffiti pieces by various artists. While it is not on the street, it certainly preserves and sanctifies the language of graffiti. During a walk at the Old City, among the shops, courtyards and parking lots you will find quite a few interesting and varied graffiti artwork.

About Me

My name is Dror Hadadi and I have always loved and been drawn to graffiti and street art – to language, color, subversion and art. Urban art, which exists in public space 24/7, fascinates and captivates my heart.

Graffiti and street art are a free ticket to a global exhibition, which is constantly changing, growing and developing. Graffiti creates and drives an artistic dialogue between the passerby and architecture and urban life. Sometimes graffiti disrupts, harms and etch its presence on the wall. Sometimes it brings the public wall to life, allowing us a colorful and exciting glimpse into the artist’s private world – and into our own world as viewers. In both cases, in graffiti and street art, an immediate communication and dialogue is created between the viewer and the message left for him on the wall. Graffiti and street art that takes place in the urban-public space, maintains a dialogue with us on a daily basis, and allows us to communicate with the space closest to us, which serves as a setting for our living environment and life in the urban space.

Enjoy!
