Along with the start of the excavations for the construction of 4 new towers in the center of kikar hamedina, a white wall was erected surrounding the construction area. The length of the wall is about 600 meters. Within a week the wall had, spontaneously, become a huge graffiti canvas that would stay with us until construction was completed. You can see that these are more than ten different artists, who present different and creative techniques.
My name is a Dror Hadadi and I have always loved and been attracted to the subversion art of graffiti. The urban art, which takes place in the public space 24/7, captivates my heart.
In my view, graffiti, is a free entry ticket to a global exhibition that is constantly changing, growing and evolving.
The graffiti creates and drives an artistic dialogue between the viewer, the architecture and the urban life. Sometimes graffiti disrupts, hurts,
and shatters its presence on the wall. Sometimes it brings the public wall to life, allowing us a colorful and exciting glimpse into the graffiti artist's private world – and our own world as viewers.
In both cases, instant communication and dialogue is created between the viewer and the message left for him on the wall.
The graffiti, due to its presence in the urban-public space, engages in dialogue with us on a daily basis, enabling us to communicate with the space near us, which serves as decor for our living and urban environment.
Enjoy!
