Shlome J. Hayun and Sheina Dorn painted on the side of the Mamilla restaurant in the heart of the “kosher corridor” in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood on Wednesday, December 9, in a day-long celebration with the community. More photos coming soon!
As a Los Angeles native and self-taught artist, Shlome has developed an unmistakable signature that bridges beautiful colored abstract design with elements of street and pop art. With strong ties to his Israeli heritage, he draws from his spirituality and cultural roots to develop his own pieces infused with love and light.
It’s been such a blast seeing people enjoying our new work at the First Station. We’ve put together an album of all the art we’ve painted there so far. Check it out!
We partnered with Kol HaOt and Hutzot Hayotzer, the Artists’ Colony to create this series of seven murals for the seven days of creation. We were honored to add some color to this hub of Jewish creativity just across the street from the walls of the Old City. Here’s the full series of completed murals.
Our collaborative mural for the Schechter Institute incorporates text and quotes from a variety Jewish sources, ancient and modern, centering on the concept of creation and learning. Each artist picked a source that they personally found meaningful and painted it on the wall in their own chosen style.
The Fourth Day of Creation — the sun and stars — is by Shlome J. Hayun. He’s really reaching into the bucket with this one.
Shlome J. Hayun gets started on his hamsa mural. He’s been dropping hamsas all over Israel for the last week, so keep an eye out.
We started painting today at The Schechter Institutes! It’s the beginning stages of a collaborative typographic mural that so far has lettering by Hillel Smith over an awesome texture by Shlome J Hayun.
