Two\u00a0years ago I published a post about Penang Street Art<\/a>\u00a0, and one year ago one about\u00a0Street Art in KL<\/a>. Using walls of buildings as a “canvas” for works\u00a0of art is becoming more and more popular these days. Sometimes\/often of mediocre quality. But when I heard that Zacharevic<\/a>\u00a0had created a series of murals in Ipoh, I wanted to see them. Because this artist adds\u00a0something special to his creations.<\/p>\n

The seven murals are all in the old part of Ipoh, and on walking distance from each other. Here is a map. The Kinta river is at the right, the padang at the top. The Zacharevic murals are indicated with red markers and names in yellow. We found a few others, marked in blue.<\/p>\n

\"Map\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are two characteristic Zacharevic murals, incorporating real-life items, a chair, a trishaw. The left picture shows a girl, standing on a stool, reaching up to a birdcage, holding the air vent for support. To the right a man loading a trishaw.<\/p>\n

These 3D murals\u00a0of course invite the spectator to become part of the artwork..:-). And\u00a0the concept is easy to copy. The two anonymous murals Beer and Lunch have probably been commissioned by nearby\u00a0cafes…:-). The difference in quality is obvious.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
