Four iconic Penang murals have been restored to their former glory, 12 years after they were painted on some of the island’s streets and became one of Malaysia ’s most well-known tourist attractions.
The restoration works on the four murals included touching up the colour on the artworks, cleaning the walls they were on and restoring the props attached to them. “The artworks were not meant to be permanent but grew beyond anything I expected,” he said. “After all this time, people still love the pieces and it’s exciting to see the city changing around the artworks.”Although some touch-ups were done in 2016 and 2019, this is the first time Mr Zacharevic has done a major restoration.
Mr Wong added the state government covered Mr Zacharevic’s “expenses” incurred for the restoration. He declined to elaborate further.
