**Rami Meiri** (Hebrew: רמי מאירי; born 1957[1][better source needed]), is an Israeli [graffiti](/source/Graffiti) artist.[2] He defines himself as a multidisciplinary artist.[3]

## Work

Rami Meiri is one of Israel's first graffiti artists.[3] He specializes in a number of graffiti techniques, including brush, charcoal and spray. His work depicts real-life scenarios and characters.[4]

He painted his first mural by the beachfront of Tel Aviv while studying art at the [Avni Institute of Art and Design](/source/Avni_Institute_of_Art_and_Design), Tel Aviv.[5]

He is being commissioned for works in Israel and in other countries, e.g., China, Brazil, the United States,[5] Portugal,[4] Austria,[1] Germany, Argentina, and South Africa. In a number of states his work was commissioned by Israel's embassies.[6]

## Controversy

In 2020 Meiri created a mural depicting men peeping into the women’s changing room at a beach. He described it as a humorous tribute to the 1972 cult comedy film *[Metzitzim](/source/Metzitzim)* (English title: *Peeping Toms*) and was drawn by the bathroom at a beach in Tel Aviv, named the Metzitzim Beach after the film. However the Tel Aviv Municipality decided to remove the mural after the repeated attempts to deface the mural by [feminist](/source/Feminist) activists, who, in their view, is demeaning towards women and "normalizes [behavior that is criminal](/source/Voyeurism#Legal_status) according to Israeli law". Meiri tried to negotiate with the activists how to modify the graffiti to convey the idea of combatting violence against women.[7]

## Personal life

He is married to Rachel.[6]
