Whereas street art makes its way onto a range of public surfaces in Tel Aviv, it is far less prevalent in Jerusalem. But hidden alleyways and spaces off the main roads, along with Mahane Yehuda — Jerusalem’s marketplace — host a range of intriguing pieces. The image pictured above was fashioned by Haifa native Maayan Fogel. Several more images I recently encountered while wandering the streets of West Jerusalem follow:
The itinerant Jerusalem-based Elna of Brothers of Light
Brazilian artist Manoel Quiterio
The prolific British-Israeli muralist Solomon Souza
Solomon Souza‘s rendition of Amar’e Stoudemire — as seen at the Mahane Yehuda Marketplace, as it was closing
