The HaSolelim complex – Tel Aviv – Street Art & Graffiti

The HaSolelim complex – Tel Aviv

An area of an old factory that has become an open- museum of street art

On Hashalom road 14, at the corner of HaSolelim Street in Tel Aviv, is an abandoned compound of an old factory that was used as a parking lot. The whole area was completely occupied by street artists from Israel and the world and there is hardly a piece of wall left that has not yet met the spray.

The unique complex was closed during January 2021 as part of the gentrification process that is taking place in the area and the bulldozers will arrive soon and also this excellent graffiti scene will disappear in favor of urban renewal.

About me

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!
