Street Art of Georgetown - Chic and cheek!

The caricature steel-rod sculptures of Tang Mun Kian and Baba Chuah can be found in many strategic street corners around Georgetown.  Interactive murals by Lithuanian artist, Ernest Zacharevic, add to the fun of exploring old Georgetown .

Tongue-in-cheek, these interesting street art pieces add to the pull of the streets with its refreshing and funny take of new and old life.
