Penang Life - Ernest Zacharevic Exhibition.

Ernest Zacharevic is a young Lithuania-born artist who has been "making a scene" on the streets of George Town for a year or so now.  His usual canvases are the dilapidated shophouse walls around the town area.


For this, his solo exhibition in a little more conventional setting,  well a disused art deco bus depot dating from the 50's, he has canvases of discarded items....OK, he has painted on rubbish.

 Very striking art works they are too.

 His work around the town has certainly entertained the tourists and locals alike and has encouraged not few imitators.

 Mind you, Johor State didn't rate his work very highly, they whitewashed over his street art in JB recently.

 Never mind, Penang loves his work.

 Wonder how this exhibition space will move on to the next event?

Ernest seems to have created a permanent presence for himself here.
