The talented Lithuanian painter Ernest Zacharevic completed a new mural in Kuching at India Street.
The young painter pieces are created in direct relation with their location and the pedestrians interaction. Its paintings are not only in situ graffitis or stencils integrated into the city. They are truly designed for the people themselves and the little stories they may create out of them.
The first piece of art features eight baby orang utans in a wheelbarrow, using an actual wheelbarrow sliced in half as a prop which people can hold and pose for pictures. He then goes onto another section of the wall and paints an orang utan swinging from a real gutter fixed to the wall.
The interactive mural is part of a project entitled Brothers from the Jungle, which is part of Spago Property Sdn Bhd’s initiative to the community by energising the arts and culture scene in Kuching, according to the press statement.
Ernest Zacharevic painted other murals in Malaysia such as Little Children on a Bicycle in Penang’s Georgetown, as well as the controversial Lego snatch theft setup in Johor which was erased.
