27 Club graffiti in Tel Aviv

Portraits

27 Club graffiti in Tel Aviv is a street mural in the Florentin neighborhood of Tel Aviv, Israel, painted in 2014 by Israeli artist John Kiss (formerly known as Jonathan Kis-Lev) with assistance from Itai Froumin and Roman Kozhokin. Measuring roughly three meters high and seven meters wide, it depicts eight figures on a wall on Haim Ben Atar Street: musicians Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse, each of whom died at age twenty-seven, alongside an eighth figure believed to be a self-portrait of the artist. Kiss painted the other figures in color but left his own portrait in gray, which was later covered over in pink paint.
