Works by Israeli artists including David Gerstein, Ron Agam, Uri Dushy, Itzik Mevorah, Calman Shemi, and Roy Yariv will surprise you. French artists Mr Brainwash aka Thierry Guetta and Arnaud Nazare Aga-known for his hand-painted sculptures-are also part of this line-up, along with Indian artists Anu Malhotra and digital artist Mandakini Devi.
