THANKS GEORGETOWN, NOW I KNOW ERNEST ZACHAREVIC’s !

-

 When you google “Georgetown-Penang”, however some street-art pictures will show up on your results.


 this is not just ordinary picture, this is an artistic inventions which engage with their surroundings.


 Ernest zacharevic's is the man and the brain behind this street-artistic inventions.
At first, the one and only street artist I know is Banksy, which is famous for his “Flower Thrower (Love is in the Air)”. Banksy is less of an artist than a global phenomenon; that’s why he is an icon. But after visiting Georgetown, I know the fact that it’s not only Banksy but there’s a great name too. Yes, he’s Ernest Zacharevic.

Ernest Zacharevic conveys the culture and community of a place, adding artistic interventions to different cities across the world. the lithuanian-born artist blends fine art techniques with a passion for public space, working in the mediums of oil paint, stencil, spray, and sculpture to communicate clever and complex concepts. (an interview with Designboom.2016)

Ernest has travelled across the world and leave his artworks as his marks. Some of them are so popular and become a cultural identity for that place. One of the city that made Ernst’ artwork as one of their cultural identity is Georgetown, a city in Penang, Malaysia.
On last December 2022, I visited Georgetown for the first time. Among Ernest’s artwork on Georgetown, I’ve visited 3 most famous of them. They are:

Little Children on Bicycle (2013). This one is the famous; printed on t-shirt, tote bag, and on the cover of travel magazine, and many more.

Brother and Sister on a Swing

Boy on Motorbike

they’re all created by Ernest and now become Tourist Attraction in Georgetown, Penang.

Sore ini, Kamis 04 Mei 2017, saya mendapat pelajaran emas di salah satu sudut dalam gramedia Book Store Bintaro. Setelah membaca cepat belasan buku Best Seller pekan ini, saya dapat 1 analogi yang menarik, something valuable to learn, yakni tentang Leadership -Mamalia vs Reptil. Ulasan ini rupanya bagian dari Buku yang ditulis oleh Joseph B. White tahun 2006 , The Nature of Leadership : Reptiles, Mamals, and the challenge of Becoming a Great Leader. White menjelaskan tentang Leadership menggunakan analogi reptilian-mamalian pada sebuah piramida.  Dasar piramida berupa 4 karakteristik , yakni Hasrat untuk berkuasa (A desire to be in charge), kemampuan memimpin, kuat, dan berkarakter.

15 November 2018. This is my fifth visit to Kerinci (a regency in Jambi’s Province)   and my second trip to explore this small town. Kerinci is so popular for its Kerinci Seblat National Park (The largest national park on the island of Sumatera). Kerinci is also popular because there is a Volcano, the highest volcano in Indonesia, named Mount Kerinci. I have two reasons why I came back here. First, because Kerinci’s nature is so attractive, heavenly and idyllic.The second, because i have a close friend from this city so I stayed in his house for most of my visit. That’s why it’s an easy way to come and explore Kerinci when he was there guided me.
