Palestinian street artist to unveil new mural in Glasgow

.

It has been produced in collaboration with Ciaran Glöbe, who was one of the artists behind the fake Banksy in Glasgow - a rat wearing a union jack bowler and banging a drum emblazoned with the words 'God Save the King' - which appeared in the city last June. Graffiti art is a major cultural force in Palestine. In August 2005, UK street artist Banksy and his team painted seven large murals on a section of the 440-miles-long West Bank Wall, also referred to as the Separation Wall. Since then, the wall has gone on to become a hotspot for the graffiti scene, a major tourist attraction and a powerful work of art in its own right.

Now creating and exhibiting internationally, Spateen draws inspiration from the Palestinian countryside, particularly the olive tree, one of the most famous of all Palestinian symbols. His more recent paintings also include depictions of mass urbanisation and colonial settlements on his homeland.
