Ipoh's street art

Several nice pieces by the Lithuanian Ernest Zacharevic that pair with physical objects. Also, some naif hero worship, odes to the city's white coffee, and depictions of what appear to be real folks in the neighborhood.

Of who?

 

A sign asks people not to sit on the real swing.

Remind me not to go hiking in the forests around here.

This is one of my favorites.

This one, in an alleyway near the Clock Tower, will surely be removed. It expresses support for the artist Fahmi Reza, who got a month in jail and a $7,000 USD fine for portraying the prime minister as a clown. There is no press or artistic freedom here.
