5. The mural art included the
eye of the three main actors
in the movie “Seniman Bujang
Lapok” which are P. Ramlee,
S. Shamsuddin and Aziz
Sattar. They are well-known
actors of the Malaysian
movies. I had preserved the
lyrics of the song “ Menceceh
Bujang Lapok” in order to
help people to remember
back the memory that embed
our mind. I hope that it will
inspire to the younger
generation to appreciate the
efforts of local artist when
they saw my mural art.

16. Description of Mural Art
A little boy is reaching for a hole in the wall. He
appears to be standing on a chair and inching
himself as high as he could reach. A cup of coffee
places on the hole. The boy is curious of what are
the things inside the hole. It is probably because
of smelling of coffee from that hole, triggering his
senses. Owing to he is short, so he cannot take
the coffee. He tried to make him taller by standing
on a chair.
How artist portrays his message?
The street art of Georgetown and his wall
paintings represent characters and scenes that
celebrate the energy and playfulness of life in the
inner city. Those murals in Penang have in fact
transformed what used to be normal streets into
more unusual, lively, witty and engaging ones.
20. ‘Art is Rubbish is Art’ is the very first solo art exhibition of Ernest Zacharevic which
held at the Hin Company Bus Depot, Georgetown and opened to the public from
19th January till 14 February, 2014. This exhibition features thirty pieces of artworks,
comprising wall murals, painting and 3D arts.
21. By turning it into an arts and events space, Ernest
Zacharevic hopes to bridge the gap between the old
and the new Penang through his art. The free-
admissions solo art exhibition is an ambitious project
that highlights broad concepts of recycling - both
intellectual and material. Drawing from the concept
of ‘one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure’.
