Dawn of the Planet of the Great Apes
The day before we got lucky and saw Orangutans in the wild (and I do have a photo from that soon!) I wanted to find these pieces of street art by Ernest Zacharevic, a young Lithuania-born artist who transformed many empty spaces in Malaysia.
These were made in the streets of Kuching, a coastal city in the Malysian part of Borneo.

This makes me smile- Ginette
One of the better graffiti artists – like it a lot.
Wonderful photo!
What a creative painting ~ and captured beautifully in your photos. Fantastic side of human nature 🙂
You know when you find something like that, that’s what makes the hunt worthwhile. This the kind of thing that gets your blood rushing. Theres nothing like art in the raw. Great stuff. It’s a keeper
Wow! There’s so much I missed! Please pardon these serial likes and comments, expect more 🙂
Haha, no worries, I was offline for a month too, so making it very easy for you 😉
Hope all is well (checking that out now)
Greetz, Ron
Grappig!
Leuk gedaan, hé? en dan de volgende dag kwam ik de echte tegen, die leken er best goed op, ietsje groter wel…
Love these. I’m following your blog, but never saw these or several others. Will need to go exploring, I think. These are wonderful. Curiously, though, I am more in love with the rusting pipes and peeling paint than the chimps. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
These murals are amusing 🙂 I bet you felt more in your element here. I am still recovering from my trip so this is just a short visit. Hope you are fine Ron.
I’ve seen his work before and it’s wonderful. If only all graffiti artists produced such fantastic work!
Thanks Noeline, I always call those ugly tagging things graffiti and would call this streetart 😉
Warm greetings from KL,
Ron
While I look forward to your photos, I’m loving this art! Thanks for sharing!
these are so good.
Well how lovely (there you go, now it’s 2 for 2). Really like this.
Brilliant!!!! You have to look twice!
Fascinating art!
Great captured, Ron!
Enjoy your weekend. 🙂
Thanks, Malin, will probably show more of his work as I was surprised that I hadn´t before 😉
Have a great weekend too.
hi ron, were these taken in sepilok?
Hello there, no, this was Kuching and we went to Semengoh day after and were lucky to see them for real as it was fruit season and normally they´ll be far into the jungle then 😉
Hope everything is ok with you, greetings,
Ron
Thank you, thank you for sharing this street art work! 🙂
Hello Amy, thanks for your enthousiasm and hope to show more of his stuff sooner or later…
Enjoy your weekend!
Looking forward to seeing more of his work 🙂
So lively – and the brushwork fits in with the splashes on the wall! Great shots.
Hello Eliza, thanks for your interest; his work blends so nicely with its surroundings I think!
Glad you enjoyed it, have a nice weekend,
Ron
I absolutely LOVE these! Street art should be mandatory.
Oh yeah, I totally agree with you, so many places have been colorised or artified by incredible street art; luckily it seems the appreciation around the world is growing 😉
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by, Maya.
Superb!
Thanks very much, Adrian!
Hope you have a great weekend, enjoy,
Ron
Love that rusty drainpipe being pressed into service!
Hi Margaret, isnt the rust beautiful? And goes great with the Orangutan´s colors?
He chooses such perfect textured walls to interact with his art, like it a lot!
Hope you´ll have a great weekend,
Ron
Perfect! Great work by this artist! 👍
Hi Dina, I hope you´re talking bout me? Just kidding!
His stuff is incredible, i love the interaction, lots of places in Malaysia have been touched by his art!
Have a great weekend,
Ron
They look lovely! And I am pretty sure I have never made that comment on one of your pictures 🙂
Gracias, amigo, and yep, i can search for lovely in a couple of years of bloggin and nobody including me ever used that word 😉
