Shai Dahan


Shai Dahan just wrapped up work on a very large piece painted on the wall which separates Isreal and Palestine.  Dahan has filled his portfolio with many awesome street and gallery works.

A couple of weeks ago (early May) I was invited by a good friend of mine David Freid to come to the Holy Land of Jerusalem. David was there to film a documentary about the art on the wall which separates Israel and Palestine. Knowing the risk involved, I got on a plane and after a few days spent in West Bank in Palestine, I finished this piece below. The piece was based on a photograph which David took of a Jordanian Bedouin.
