Who holds the Guinness World Record for the largest spray paint mural by one artist?
The largest spray paint mural by one artist measures 2,038.96 m² (21,947.18 ft²), and was achieved by Avi Tal (Israel), in Dimona, Israel, on 1st March 2016.
Avi, whose artists name is SPINE B7, has been painting with spray cans since 2005. He was commissioned by the municipality of Dimona in Israel to paint the walls of the football stadium.
The actual painting of the wall took almost a year, and the first three months of that were spent undertaking the gruelling task of preparing the wall and cleaning it which makes Mo’s dream an even more daunting task.
Despite his extensive experience with aerosol painting, the massive project took two months to plan as he had to prepare numerous sketches and calculate how much material he needed.
