How about street art in Georgetown, Penang? Are there any interesting places?

There are many murals scattered on the streets of Georgetown, which is one of the reasons that attract many people to visit Penang. Most of these murals are street paintings created by 25-year-old artist Ernest Zacharevic from Lithuania for the Georgetown Festival 2065438+02. Subsequently, driven by the mural craze, some local painters, such as Louis Gump, also participated. These murals add a leisurely artistic atmosphere to the antique streets of Georgetown and become the latest tourist attractions in Georgetown. The finished works are divided into two categories: the first category is the combination of murals and installations, such as cyclists and teenagers chasing the wind; The second category is huge murals, such as girls jumping over walls and craftsmen. These works are vivid, detailed and lifelike. So many young people also like to make all kinds of interesting expressions in front of murals to take pictures as a souvenir.
