Heritage + Art

Penang Georgetown

what you guys know about Penang?

island? char kuey teow? gurney? ferry?

For me:

Penang Georgetown - An artistic city which richest with sorts of heritage

Since the beginning from efforts by Ernest Zacharevic,

Lotsa artists started drawing more and more murals on the town's wall

all pieces of art works got it's own meanings

and they did suit well with those heritage in the city

nope,

they did help in expressing those heritages perfectly too

- Little Girl in Blue by Ernest Zacharevic, Muntri Sreet -

 - Magic Trick, Armenian Street -

- Cheating Husband by Tang Mun Kian, Love Lane -

- Cats and human happily living together by ASA, side wall of Cheah Kongsi -

* ASA - Artists for Stray Animals Team*

- Love Me Like Your Fortune Cat by ASA -

- Giant Cat by ASA, Armenian Street -

- Giant Rat by ASA, next to Giant Cat Mural -

 - Little children on a bicycle by Ernest, Armenian Street -

- Armenian Street, just opposite the mural above - 

- Armenian Street, just next to the bicycle mural -

- Boy on A Bike by Ernest, Ah Quee Street -

- Camera Museum, Muntri Street -

- Chew Jetty -

- Brother and Sister on A Swing by Louis Gan, Chulia Street Ghaut - 

This is the mural I love the most among all

the feel, the expression of the little boy and little girl 

remind us for the childhood 'swing' memories

I always thought it is by Ernest but actually it is by Louis Gan

a deaf-mute self-taught artist from Penang

- Children Playing Basketball by Louis Gan, Chulia Street Ghaut -

There are still many meaningful murals, sculptures around Georgetown

waiting for us to figure out

all of these had been scattered around the town

instead of centralized in one place

i think it's a nice idea and concept

as we will slowly explore the town while seeking for these artistic works

“放慢自己的步伐 偶尔停下脚步 看看这个世界 或许会看得更多 体会得更多”

'Slower down your pace, Stop occasionally, 

Look at the world, You may view more, Experience more'

this is what I learnt at Georgetown

Now I know the reason Penang-ians loving their city so much

because it's a nice, awesome and cool city

that I still want to explore it again once have another chance

*Remember to do some homeworks before travel to Penang*

To avoid yourself walking blindly around the town

here is the location details for more murals and sculptures:

besides, there is still lotsa places that have not been stated or known yet

may be you can replace it by riding a bicycle if tired of walking a lot
