Much of the graffiti art works in Israel and around the world deal with the expression, and documenting of a particular person. Portraits usually show the torso and are usually not very ornate. Their purpose is to present the person's general appearance, and sometimes to add artistic insight into his personality.
In this post I have selected a collection of portraits of local (Israel) and international artists.
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!
