Tel Aviv Street Art around Carmel Market
Most of the street art that I found was in central Tel Aviv, located near Hacarmel street. Some of it is politically motivated and sharing views of peace.
‘Lips’
I found a lot of art in this particularly colourful style of animals, including a cat, a deer and a giraffe!
Giraffe
Steampunk Plague Doctors
One of my favourite pieces of street art in Tel Aviv was the ‘steampunk plague doctors’…
I also found an owl painted in the Gibli style of ‘no-face’ from spirited away.
This crazy ‘octopus tree’ was making its way down the stairs…
Oh, and then I found this two headed ‘frenemy!’
For more outdoor art, visit the Florentin area in the South of the city. Find out more on www.visit-tel-aviv.com and www.touristisrael.com. If you love street art, you might also like to read about street art in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife.
