John Kiss (born Jonathan Kis-Lev, September 12, 1985) is an Israeli street artist, peace activist and author, known for his graffiti work, political artwork and community-based projects.[1][2] Having been involved in peace activism since his youth, his work centers on the transformative capacity of art; notable works include The Peace Kids Mural[3][4] and the 27 Club graffiti in Tel Aviv, which have become city icons.[5][6][7]

Early life and education

Kiss was born to parents who immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union.[8][9] The family settled in Mishmar Ayalon, and he started taking private art classes. At age eleven Kiss attended a peace art camp situated in Nablus, funded by USAID, and encountered Palestinian children for the first time; the art camp experience developed his passion for peacemaking, seeing the power of art in creating bridges and reconciliation. At age 13 he joined the Jewish-Arab youth movement Sadaka Reut, and began studying Arabic, eventually making Arab friends, both Muslims and Christians.[10][11]

Kiss studied art at Alef School of Arts and Thelma Yellin High School. At the age of 16 he was selected by the Israeli committee of the United World Colleges to be a Young Ambassador of Israel at Pearson in BC, Canada,[12] and studied there for two years, majoring in Visual Arts.[13] Upon completing his studies in Canada, Kiss returned to Israel to serve in the mandatory Israeli Defense Forces, eventually getting stationed at the headquarters of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, where he was in charge what he viewed as "peace-promoting" coordination of entrance of medicines into the Gaza Strip, enabling Palestinian patients to visit Israeli hospitals. He later earned his bachelor's degree summa cum laude from the Open University of Israel focusing on art and psychology.[14]

Kiss is a board member of the Israeli League of Esperanto Speakers, and was the president of the Young Esperanto Speakers.[15][16] He is a member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Israel, as well as the Israeli Association of Visual Artists. In March 2020, he legally shortened his name from Jonathan Kis-Lev to John Kiss.

Art

Major art works

In his style, Kiss was influenced by artists including Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Gaudi, which encouraged him to create public art using colorful pallets. Kiss chose to create much of his graffiti in South Tel Aviv, especially Florentin.[17][18] He had to find creative ways to avoid being caught, as paintings and engraving could result in high penalties. Untypical among street artists, Kiss used his actual real name in his work, as opposed to a pseudonym.[19][20] Soon after beginning to use images rather than texts in his graffiti works, a silhouette-drawn character began to emerge in his work, one that Kiss began repeating and re-drawing often.[21] The character, a mixture between a young child and a mythic elf, was to become identified with him, similar to a "graffiti tag." The elf character was often depicted flying, running, or jumping, always carrying a spray can, brushes and pens in his hand.[22] As his works became "identified by his signature logo of an elf",[23] he began working with cutout stencils, which soon became Kiss' go-to method, mostly for the speed they allowed to complete the painting and leave the scene within minutes.[24].

Homage to Banksy (mural):

In his twenties, Kiss began creating non-commissioned graffiti works in Tel Aviv, Israel. Inspired by bristol-based graffiti artist Banksy, Kiss eventually elevated his street art using stencils.[25] In a homage to Banksy's "Flying Balloon Girl", Kiss' new mural spanned 7 by 9 meters (22 by 29 feet) and displayed his iconic elf holding brushes and a spray can, flying upwards with heart-shaped balloons, while also including a part of the original Banksy imagery.[26] The mural has recevied considerable attention from art critics upon its completion.[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]


Spray Me! (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland mural):

The work as seen from the street

As Kiss ventured into new characters and created more intricate works,[35] an "urban elf" became a recurring object, with a spray can which showed the medium with which the elf was created in the first place - graffiti - as a form of metafiction (fiction which deals with the craft of fiction). Despite initially using traditional oil paints on canvas, Kiss shifted to use spray cans and stencils, which provided much quicker results. Equating the magic of transformation offered by Alice in Wonderland as the magic potion transforms the wall, and wishing to play on the subject of graffiti being magical, Kiss substituted the original glass bottle in the scene with a graffiti spray can, changing the inscription on the bottle from "Drink me" to "Spray me" in capital letters.[36][36][37] Kiss chose a site in a different Tel Aviv neighborhood than most of his work, Neve Tzedek, for the large-scale work, which was painted using large stencil boards made by the artist in advance. Annika Ramsaier of Goethe-Institut praised the work[38] and art magazines noted its uniqueness.[39][40][41][42][43] The painting became a symbol of graffiti in the local area as well as the street art scene.[44][45][46][47]

Poisoning the Youth:

The work as seen from the street

Believing that art work can have a positive effect on the overall community and neighborhoods in which he worked, Kiss noted the way some municipalities contacted him to offer commissioned works, which he rejected, wishing to ensure his artistic freedom. Wishing to create another meta reference to the art of graffiti, Kiss sought to balance the positive magic referred to in the Alice work with the supposed negative aspects of dark magic, eventually choosing the witch appearing in Disney's 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.[48] In the movie, the witch offered a poisoned apple to the young Snow White, whose youthful beauty was the source of anger for the witch, and Kiss attempted to equate the poisoning element and the attack on his graffiti actions by a critic who called it poisonous for the youth. Kiss sketched the witch facing the viewers, as if the viewers themselves were facing the poisoned apple, yet, substituted the witch's apple with a large spray can.[49] The work was later featured in several travel magazines and films.[50][51][52]

The 27 Club Graffiti:

Kiss' next work, in 2014, depicted seven artists from the "27 Club".[53][54] Veering away from some of his previous work, Kiss began obsessively researching famous artists who died early, particularly the "27 Club", and began sketching portraits of them. His eventual work included, from left to right: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and the figure of the artist. Kiss decided to include a portrait of himself as well, with the intention of erasing his own portrait when (if) he would turn 28, but it was only after he reached that age that he set to finally create the mural. Kiss wished to portray an "uplifting" portrait of these individuals and their lives, and painted the portraits of the famous artists in colors, but left his own portrait at the far right in gray.[55][56] He chose a prominent wall at the heart of Tel Aviv (on Haim Ben Atar Street).[55] Kiss was assisted by fellow artists Itai Froumin and Roman Kozhokin to execute the piece, which spans 3 m (9.8 ft) high by 7 m (23 ft) wide.[57]

In order to avoid heavy fines for the graffiti work, and to convince police that the large work was indeed commissioned, Kiss made himself and the team wear yellow vests and helmets like city hall workers, and rented a private crane and prepared special signs to be pasted on the crane as "Property of the Tel Aviv Municipality"; this strategy eventually proved to be successful. Art journalist Zipa Kampinski covered the mural's secretive creation process. ".[58] Soon after the completion of the work, Kiss' portrait was vandalized with pink paint thrown at it. [59][60][61][62] Over the years, the work has become known as one of Israel's must-see street artworks, and a popular scene in Florentin, and has been featured in several publications, including the Israeli street art documentary The Streets Are Ours ("HaRehovot Hem Shelanu"),[63][64][65] becoming a became a symbol of the 27 club and receiving international coverage.[54][66][67][68][69][70][71] French,[72][73][74][75] The spot where it was painted had become a meeting point for tours to convene in, and the wall right underneath it is today filled with dozens of graffiti works by multiple artists from around the world.[76] It became a symbol of the gentrification process in South Tel Aviv.[77] Time Out Magazine cited Kiss' work among "The most beautiful in Tel Aviv",[78][79] mayor of Tel Aviv (Ron Huldai) office, which eventually advertised street-art tours and featured Kiss' 27 Club graffiti in Tel Aviv.[80]

The Bethlehem Peace Kids:

In his next art piece, Kiss painted "The Peace Kids" murals in two places: Tel Aviv, Israel and Bethlehem, Palestine. It was made in Bethlehem with Palestinian artist Moodi Abdallah.[81][82][83] [84][85][86]The art work was extensively covered by Yedioth Ahronoth, Reform Magazine, and others.[87] The work subsequently became a symbol for peace, repainted by other artists,[88] reproduced on shirts,[89] included in artistic films, and appearing on posters and peace conferences invitations.[87][90][91]

The Naïve Series:

While his street art often confronted viewers with unpleasant messages, including social injustice and the existence of war and violence, in his Naïve Series Kiss hoped to create the exact opposite, with paintings that will bring "happiness and love" to viewers. For this Naïve art approach - which typically has flat rendering style with a rudimentary expressions of perspective and strong primary colors - and to achieve a more "childish" result he used his left hand, despite being right-handed; furthermore, he drew some paintings when the canvas was placed upside down, so that elements such as the sky were placed on the bottom, and chose canvases with a black layer.[92] In the Naïve Series Kiss focused on paintings of landscapes, mostly urban, of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, as well as Paris, Prague and other cities around the world which he had visited. The landscapes, however, were intentionally "distorted, objects are crooked, the horizon is rounded, achieving a naïve look."[93] In Jerusalem he portrayed "the silhouettes of Ein Kerem, the familiar outlines of the Hurva synagogue, the Montefiore Windmill and other notable buildings."[8]

Other art and social projects

From his beginnings as a graffiti artist, Kiss infused activism into his work, creating dialogue and practicing the art of social practice. Kiss’ site-specific exhibitions are in close dialogue with his activism and advocacy efforts, which explore the power of art to respond to crises caused by exclusion from society, structural violence, depression, mental illness, and addiction. Autism, often considered as taboo within ultraorthodox Jewish communities, was a subject Kiss focused on since his early career, seeking to bring awareness to the cause.

Tel Aviv Gay club shooting: In August 2009, the Israeli LGBT Association in Tel Aviv was attacked during a youth-advisory evening, resulting in the deaths of a 26-year-old and a 17-year-old, and injuries for others. Appalled by the shooting, Kiss sprayed various textual statements, including visual renditions of the rainbow flag with a diagonal black ribbon expressing grief, and the date of the gay club shooting. The pride flag with the black ribbon was among the first instances in which Kiss veered away from textual catchphrases to an actual visual drawing on the street, and marked his transition from textual politically-oriented catchphrase-based graffiti to a more visual and figurative style.

African refugees deportation: While Kiss began creating his graffiti, African immigration to Israel became increasingly prevalent, as large numbers of people from Africa entered Israel through the lightly fenced border between Israel and Egypt. Soon after, Israel began deporting African foreigners; while many of the African migrants were regarded by human rights organizations to be legitimate asylum seekers, the Israeli government regarded most of them as job seeking work-migrants. Kiss was appalled by the deportation move, and to help their cause he began spraying catchphrases on the subject in streets and public squares in Israel to support the migrants, often quoting Biblical verses to persuade the religious community as well.

Other projects: In 2012, Kiss partnered with Makor Rishon magazine, to produce their cover image, featuring a painting of Jerusalem. The cover also included an excerpt from German philosopher Franz Rosenzweig's writings. The Kiss painting, Love to Jerusalem, was painted to show his love for the city, in which he lived at the time.[94][95]

The autism murals: Growing up with a cousin with autism, Kiss wished to utilize art to encourage inclusion and to embrace children with autism and their families. One particular issue that Kiss strongly opposed was Judaism's traditional rejection of autistic children from the bar mitzvah ceremony, which marks the transitio from childhood to adulthood (in classical Jewish tradition, the ceremony requires developed mental capacities proving the child is "eligible" to be announced as an adult). Kiss partnered with Israeli NGO "Small Heroes" to bring hundreds of teens with autism to celebrate the rite of passage ritual, and distributed 200 of his illustrations among these pre-teens and their families.[96][97] Kiss then created an art installation from the joint drawings of these 200 children. These illustrations, colored by the autistic boys and girls, were joined together to a large-scale mural. The mural, presented at Jerusalem's Western Wall, drew public attention to the cause of inclusion.[96] Presenting the 200-piece-mural in front of Judaism's holiest site was to encourage Jewish reflection at what Kiss called "the dark rejection" of people with special needs, and to turn the page towards a more positive, inclusive future. The children who participated in the initiative, both boys and girls, were subsequently all aided in performing the bar mitzvah ceremony, essentially proving their adulthood according to Jewish tradition.[96][98]

Art in Dark Places: Kiss wanted to make art accessible to the wide public, and teamed up with artists Doron Polak, Iris Elhanani, Dudu Gerstein, Raphael Perez, Naftali Bezem,, Nachum Gutman, Menashe Kadishman, Lea Nikel and Eran Shakine, to create "Art in Dark Places." They created a series of permanent parking lot exhibits, specially lit, aiming at making the experience of the car owners and passers-by "safer and friendlier ... to bring inspiration even at surprising and unexpected venues." The exhibitions were staged in parking lots mostly in South Tel Aviv.

Galleries

In 2007, Kiss had a solo exhibition in Tel Aviv, titled Beginnings: Neve Zedek and Jaffa; and attended by notable visitors including Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai, marking his debut in the Israeli art world. In 2007, his work was featured at the Beit Gibor center, the Joï Gallery in Neve Tsedek, and over a dozen paintings were acquired by Israel's Bank Leumi as part of their permanent art collection. In 2009 Kiss had a solo exhibition at the Shorashim Art Gallery pavilion at the International Bank, Tel Aviv, and another exhibition curated by Esti Drori and Doron Polak.[99][100] The event was followed by exhibitions in Berlin,[101] Toronto[102] and Miami. In 2010 he showed a solo exhibition at The Edge Gallery in Nahariya,[103][104] and, at age 25, was the youngest artist to hold a solo exhibition in the gallery.[105][106] In that exhibition he showed large-scale, 6-meter long triptychs portraying the city out of a window.[107] In 2011 he had a solo exhibition at the Art and Soul Gallery in Jerusalem;[8] he later showed his paintings at the ZOA Gallery in Tel Aviv, curated by Doron Polak. In 2012 he participated with his Naïve Series in the International Naïve Exhibition in Katowice, Poland.[108] later showing the works at the Accessible Tel Aviv Art Exhibition

In 2013 he showed a solo exhibition at the Griffin Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida, titled The City of Songs: Paintings of a Modern Jerusalem.[109] In 2015 he showed his paintings at "O Lovely Land", GINA Gallery of International Naïve Art, Tel Aviv. In 2016 he had a solo exhibition at the Art and Soul Gallery in Jerusalem, and a year later had a second solo exhibition, "Next Year in Jerusalem" at the Griffin Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida.[110] at the Gallery of International Naïve Art in Tel Aviv.[111] In 2019 he participated at the Art in Dark Places project led by Iris Elhanani. In 2020 he participated in the Peace envelopes exhibition in multiple cities in Israel. In 2021 he showed a solo retrospective exhibition at the Yevniel Gallery in Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv.

Peace activism

Jews and Arabs Refuse to Be Enemies: While living in Jerusalem, Kiss sprayed in multiple locations the catchphrase "Jews and Arabs Refuse to Be Enemies", a common slogan within pro-peace circles which also rymes in Hebrew. With the goal of reminding passers-by to behave peacefully rather than to be led by their fear and prejudice, the graffiti aimed to show that art can break down prejudice.

Joint encounter groups: Kiss joined hands with the German Federal Agency for Civil Education, and its president Thomas Krüger, to bring together young leaders from Israel and Palestine to Germany to promote Middle Eastern peace while simultaneously learning civic principles, conflict resolution and peace psychology.[112] Following this project, he began mediation workshops titled "Is peace possible?" encouraging young people to play an active mediating role in the conflict between Muslims and Jews in the Holy Land, lecturing about his approach to solving the conflict, calling for better education for all children, encounters with the other side of the conflict, and ensuring that Arabs and Jews have equal rights and security, while embracing dialogue and coexistence.[113] He joined the Tikvah Leadership Forum at the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center, and subsequently was selected as a young member of Israeli President Shimon Peres' Young Leaders Forum.[114]

Artists For Peace: At age 26, in efforts to use art as a bridge between the Israelis and the Palestinians, Kiss joined the Bereaved Families for Peace, which was originally created to accommodate meetings between families berieaving a lost member due to the conflict (while Kiss had no immediate family member killed due to the conflict, he lost friends in wars). He joined the organization and participated in the establishment of the first joint Palestinian-Israeli artists group within the organization's Narratives Project. The artists group brought together an equal number of artists from both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The group focused on of both narratives, the Israeli and the Palestinian. As part of understanding the Palestinian narrative, the group studied about the Nakba and visited the Palestinian village Lifta; for the Israeli narrative the group learned extensively about the Holocaust and visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum (which subsequently began accommodating Arabic-speaking groups).[115][116][117]

The Hallelujah Dialogue Project: In 2014, due to the rising violence during the uprising known as the Silent Intifada, Kiss joined hands with Palestinian activist Riman Barakat of the Israel-Palestine Center for Research and Information and Breaking the Impasse. Together, they began to convene meetings in Jerusalem encouraging dialogue, in a project that was called The Hallelujah Dialogue Project.[118] As part of the project, Kiss introduced the Jerusalem Arab-Jewish Youth Chorus to project participants.[119] The meetings introduced external facilitators offering various peace-related activities such as Ultimate sport, poetry reading and discussion groups.

It's Time For Peace: In 2017 Kiss came together with a group of Israelis and Palestinians who "wholeheartedly believe that peace and reconciliation between the two peoples is possible, and want to put an end to the occupation and live together, side by side, in peace." Working through social media and in one-on-one interactions, the meetings were co-led by both Palestinian and Israeli facilitators, "to encourage both sides to get to know each other" and were followed by a campaign of joint photographs of Jews and Arabs showing their friendships on social media.[120] Through the encounters offered in this program Kiss broadened the dialogue from adult activists to whole families, bringing together several generations, in order to meet the other side face to face.[121][122]

The Peace Envelopes: In 2019 two key dates convened: the 40th anniversary of Israel's peace agreement with Egypt and the 25th anniversary of Israel's peace agreement with Jordan. To commemorate the round-number anniversaries Kiss joined other artists in creating an exhibition in Jerusalem to mark the important dates and to encourage such treaties to be reached with Syria and the Palestinians. Curator Iris Elhanani said the exhibition was to express the artists' "longing and dream for peace and tranquility."[123] Among Kiss' paintings in the exhibition was a painting of Jerusalem with a pomegranate at the Mamilla mall, as well as a large scale painting of Jerusalem in golden hues.
