Israel-©-MEA-20170426-(N54)–Art-in-Jerusalem-Mural-on-the-Wall-1
This is the second mural in the series of ‘Art-in-Jerusalem’ which focuses on the culture, customs and architecture of ancient and modern Jerusalem.
The artist, who remains anonymous, succeeds in drawing us in to the welcoming and pleasant world of friends sitting on a park bench who stop for a moment to turn and look at us. Their friendly faces invite us into this mystical place of tranquillity. If you’ve ever gazed over a tranquil body of water or mountain range which rises up to meet the sky, and not be able to determine exactly where one begins and the other ends, then this scene offers a similar illusion, where mystery and reality overlap.
The background of old buildings, well established trees and passive animals add to this peaceful setting. This is modern Jerusalem—a place where the sun sets over a cityscape of mystery and reality.

Israel-©-MEA-20170419-(N36)–Art-in-Jerusalem-Murals on Buildings-1
This is one of the many murals which appear on the side of buildings in Jerusalem. Although it was difficult to get up close and ‘square-on’, the mural still has many of its images which depict everyday life in modern Jerusalem, including the ‘Light Rail’ which transports passengers around the city and central to this modern metropolis.
Notice the kids skate boarding, men playing cards and even the camel (centre bottom) that’s looking around at the ‘goings on’. Also, see if you can spot the ongoing repairs to the upper balcony door and window; as well as the man climbing up the side of a large hanging red curtain, which extends across the scaffolding at the top. Then zoom in and enjoy all the activities spread across this societal panorama.
Judge for yourself, whether this mural suits the building on which it is painted. How does it fit in with the units and balconies, the beautiful flowers in full bloom and the blue-stripped awnings covering them? If you lived here, would you have chosen such a theme or some other!
Log-on next week for more Art in Jerusalem. Shalom.
