Local artist Amit Shimoni digitally paints famed cultural and political figures to reflect hipster fashions and styles on the street of Tel Aviv. What’s the idea behind his series Hipstory? From his exhibition at Kuli Alma bar, Shimoni shares this and more – including his thoughts on why young Israelis don’t want to be politicians – with TLV1’s Ariella Plachta. Shimoni’s work is easily recognizable within Tel Aviv’s art scene, although not without bumps along the way.
