Wooster Collective spotted this amazing exterior on 4th Street, between Avenue C and Avenue D. It was painted by Cern and Cekis from Chile. Check out more of their painting at ArtCrimes. Their style is similar to Os Gemeos from Brazil-- you might remember them from when they were in New York last year.

Semi-related: NYU is having a show of Israeli graffiti and related art. The opening is at the Brofman Center tonight at 7pm. Looks like a good show, with stuff from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and New York. [Check out more Tel Aviv streetart at Streetsy.]
