Klone
Klone, the artistic name of Igor Revelis (b. 1983, Kharkiv, Ukraine), is a multidisciplinary artist and one of the pioneers of Israel’s graffiti movement. After immigrating to Israel as a child, he began painting in the streets of Tel Aviv, using graffiti as a means of claiming unfamiliar surroundings and developing a sense of belonging.
Klone’s distinctive visual language is populated by hybrid animals, masked figures, fragmented faces, and dreamlike landscapes. Moving between beauty and unease, these recurring characters explore migration, memory, alienation, and the fluid nature of identity. His practice has expanded from street interventions into painting, works on paper, intricate paper cuts, animation, installation, and large-scale murals. Monumental works such as Keep On Dreaming demonstrate his ability to translate the spontaneous energy of street art into ambitious, immersive compositions.
Klone has presented exhibitions and public projects throughout Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, including collaborations with Berlin’s Urban Nation and multiple solo exhibitions at Urban Spree Galerie.
