With most of the murals complete, we had a blast partying the night away at our opening reception, hosted by the Jerusalem Biennale at the First Station!
Opening Reception!
Year: 2019
Day 6, Mural 14: Judy Kopelman
As the day comes to an end, Judy Kopelman finishes the last piece of the day, the Sixth Day of Creation.
Day 6, Mural 13: Eli Kaplan-Wildmann
Making a guest appearance painting the Fourth Day of Creation — birds and fish — is our trusty co-curator Eli Kaplan-Wildmann. It’s his first mural! Though he’s a fantastic set designer so this really isn’t that unfamiliar to him.
Day 6, Mural 12: Yitzchok Moully
Skipping ahead to Shabbat, the Seventh Day, we have Yitzchok Moully, showing how Shabbat brightens the week.
Day 6, Mural 11: Shlome J. Hayun
The Fourth Day of Creation — the sun and stars — is by Shlome J. Hayun. He’s really reaching into the bucket with this one.
Day 6, Mural 10: Lenore Mizrachi-Cohen
Next up with the Third Day of Creation — plants — is Lenore Mizrachi-Cohen, with her wonderful floral arabesques.
Day 6, Mural 9: Hillel Smith
While part of the crew continues painting at the First Station, we begin another series of seven murals at Hutzot Hayotzer, the Artists’ Colony for the seven days of creation. First up is Hillel Smith with Day 1, light and darkness.
Day 6, Mural 8: Solomon Souza
The inimitable Solomon Souza bangs out a masterpiece in no time flat.
Day 5, Mural 7: Yitzchok Moully
Yitzchok Moully drips bright colored paint to make the background for his mural.
Day 5, Mural 6: Hillel Smith
Hillel Smith, way up high on a ladder, marks out the lines on his mural on the First Station concert stage.
