Guerrilla artists have been traveling to the 425-mile-long West Bank barrier - which separates Israel from the Palestinian territories - as it seems to be the longest piece of canvas in the world to work on. In all seriousness, this barrier - which symbolizes political unrest and a centuries long battle - has been used as an expressive tool and a forum of activism for those who utilize it as such.
London-based guerrilla artist, Banksy created nine images on the barrier which are provocative without being directly polemical.
Filippo Minelli is the most recent conceptual artist to make a statement on the barrier.
