Welded iron wall caricatures
Blending humor and historical facts, these metal sculptures describe the prevailing colloquial demeanor of the early settlement days that gave memorable moniker to the streets and landmarks that are George Town icons today. Like voices from the past, they creatively symbolize the intimate relationship the people have in their daily lives with these landmarks that stand to this day.

Many have become enamored of the newly transformed streetscape of George Town, much thanks to the beautiful and evocative murals that Ernest hand painted.
