Low Intermediate Level – Graffiti in Tel Aviv

The Kufsonim

Who are the Kufsonim? These are

the figures that Adi Sened paints.

He began painting them while he

was a student at Bezalel, and since

then you can find them everywhere

in Tel Aviv. Why do they call them

Kufsonim? Because they look like a

box [in Hebrew – KUFSA].

There are Kufsonim that are like figures from history and from popular

culture, such as Moshe Dayan, Santa Claus and more. In one of the

works there are Kufsonim of Adam and Eve, but not like in the Torah,

here, Adam is the one who gives Eve the apple and Eve has a knife -

what do you think she wants to do?

Usually, the Kufsonim are not alone, sometimes they are together and

sometimes with animals. Sometimes Sened paints the Kufsonim low on

the wall, and there is a reason. Sened wants children to meet them in

front of their eyes, because he knows that children often see things that

adults can't see.
