The other day while out and about we noticed a striking looking red door cut into an old wall. lots of character and covered in a great patina.
I posted a shot of the door in a random photo of the day.
Well, we walked past it again yesterday, and it seems we weren’t the only ones taken with it, as part of the George Town festival, which is on now, it’s been turned into a striking bit of street art.
The boy is painted onto the door, the motor-cycle is propped up in front.
It’s part of a series around town by artist Ernest Zacharevic, there will be twenty by the time he’s finished
This was a great find. I love to see tastful street art.
Thanks Dave, I’m going to try and find the other examples that are around George Town somewhere
Don’t forget to post them.
Absolutely adore the lifelike images againt the red door….amazing!
me too..
Very cool!! Great job 🙂
Wow. That is absolutely beautiful stuff. I’ll be back for more! Keep up the great work.

I loved the art in George Town when I was there last year – Penang itself was one of my favourite places in Malaysia, I just walked and took pictures and walked some more. Enjoy.

Wow, that’s really incredible art! Thanks for sharing!
Those are awesome!
i thought they were real in the thumbnail! yes please post a gallery once you get them all! so, are the bikes staying?
Hi Baki, I’ll post some more as they get finished, I guess the bikes will stay, you’d like to think they would be permanent
Lovely 🙂
Comical and yet so beautiful! I love it!
Unas imagenes estupendas!!!

I love red doors. Funny, because I took photos of a red door in my city today. Red doors everywhere, lucky for us.
I do love a good door myself, lots of character in them. 🙂
Wow, I love these!
How clever! Love this post! 🙂
WOW, this is amazing 🙂
I love this immensely!
That’s fantastic! It certainly takes thinking outside the square to a whole new level.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
I find this post Interesting! Unique idea. Had great time browsing this stuff. Thanks!

Nice Article
Great! I also like the Steel Caricature pieces very much! Penang is definitely the place to visit!

Hi Asia Dreaming!
Thanks for posting about Mirrors George Town! great to see people reacting so positively to all the murals. However, Ernest will only be completing 6-10 murals as part of Mirrors George Town for the George Town Festival, depending on the walls that he is able to get permission for.
There is another Mural on Muntri Street (on the wall of MoonTree Hotel) and the latest on Cannon street, just off Armenian st – should definitely catch those 🙂
Cheers!
Ace, thanks for the update, we’ll check them out as soon as we can.
cheers
Breathtaking stuff. Really enjoying it.
I love the expressions of the girls on the bicycle. Please post up any more that you encounter. They are gorgeous.
Amazing art..Loved it
Wow! Really nice works!

Lovely street art, what a stroke of luck to experience something like this nearby!
This work is beyond description. I simply love it.
Congrats on being freshly pressed! I’ll be sure to check them the next time I visit Penang. (I’m living at KL btw) =)
Wow! This is fantastic! I love street art – makes me smile 🙂

Hi, we haven’t seen any Mario yet, we’re out of town for a week or so, but will check out the streets when we get back to George Town.

Very interestion!!
The emotions captured through this street art is so overwhelming. The simple and innocent joy that can only be found in children. And the use of installation again a very magnificent idea!
That is so true. I thought that the boy was really sitting on the bike.
