Seven internationally recognised Israeli street artists are showing at the Inoperable gallery in Vienna.

The show features work by Know Hope, Zero Cents, Ame 72, Klone, Broken Fingaz, DoverD, Foma <3.

Most of the artists are from, Tel Aviv (‘the bubble’). Know Hope calls the city the “most secular, dynamic and fast-paced city in Israel”. Broken Fingaz are from Haifa, in the north, which also has a surfing community for what it’s worth.

Tel Aviv is a great graffiti destination. Not without police, but just far more laid back than most other big cities. You can read more about the Tel Aviv street art scene in an article I wrote for the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz last year.

Take a look at Zero Cents blog (maybe NSFW)- I was moved by the post, ‘R.I.P. Whoresy’.

As part of Vandalog’s “Great in ’08″ series, which will be running every day for the rest of the month. Check out previous posts here. Street artists from across the world have been offered one post to give away to one artist who they feel has been doing great work recently. Today it’s Ame72‘s turn.

Who is one artist doing really great work right now?

Asbestos.
