The official name of this mural is Oakland Palestine Solidarity Mural. Painted by 13 artists, it was finished and dedicated at the end of August. As you can see, it is quite massive so I've added a couple of shots showing greater detail.
I happened to run across this mural as it was being completed. To my surprise no one was using aerosol cans, but instead were using brushes. The styles vary from panel to panel with each image being quite detailed.

Wow! Very impressive mural, I like it a lot! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteBrushes? Now that's art!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI am not at all in sympathy with the muralists' politics. Palestinians rain bombs into Israel from locations hidden among civilian buildings and then scream with outrage when Israel responds with targeted munitions after warning inhabitants to get out. You reap what you sow.
