Haifa Museum of Art
AME72
The street artist known as AME72 draws inspiration from pop culture and uses bold colors in his stenciled and freehand graffiti works. His installation features ten life-size policemen drawn on wooden boards: smiling on one side, frowning on the reverse. The policemen are designed to resemble LEGO minifigures, a recurring motif in the artist's work. In his eyes, the use of a popular and easily recognizable image allows him to put a playful spin on dire sociopolitical issues. The - policemen in the installation seem to confront and engage the audience. Their placement along a main passageway creates a situation of unavoidable friction for visitors of the museum.
