Urbanix, the first designer toy store in Israel, offers 130 sqm dedicated to designer vinyl and urban lifestyle products as well as a gallery space. The store will celebrate their opening with their first exhibition, The wall: Know Hope, Klone &
Zero Cents, with a reception on June 7th, 2008. The show will feature art from three well-known Israelli urban artists who have worked together over the last five years to bring their visions to life on and around Tel Aviv. Each artist has a signature style and set of imagery. Know Hope’s signature character is a knight, with a heart shaped
hole in his chest. Klone is known for his colorful fantastic images of heroes and
anti-heroes. Zero Cents uses images of Christian iconography, combined
with enigmatic texts written backwards, based on phrases from the bible. The show runs through July 17th.
