The main reason most tourist travel to Penang is it’s famous street food. We are not adventurous eaters, especially not me. Besides that we do not feel the need to put ourselves at hygienic risks when traveling. Why risk getting sick and ruining your precious holidays? So we are probably the only tourists that ever visited […]
Mural Art @ Singapore River. Part 3.
This is my third and -for now- last article about the project MuralArt@Singapore River. (You can see the other ones here and here.) The piece in this underpass may well be my favorite, despite it’s damaged condition. (We can see clearly that it is sticker art that has been ripped of on various places. Too […]
Murals under bridges. Part 2.
Recently I wrote about this project named Mural art@Singapore river. As I mentioned, I showed you just one of the underpasses. Here is another one: These pics were taken some months ago, so I am not sure wether this series is still there or wether it has been taken down already. Does anyone know? Which series […]
Where to find street art in Hong Kong
The last days I told you about the street artist exhibit at Above Second gallery and about an impressive ‘abseil’-piece. I also shared images of the street art that I ran into randomly while exploring Hong Kong. When I was at Above Second I asked the gallery staff where to find more street art in […]
Street art encounters in Hong Kong
In my previous article, I mentioned that I did not run into a whole lotta street art, while strolling through Hong Kong. But ofcourse I found some; here they are: Stencil robot. Stencil baby in box. As you can see there are different styles and techniques used: stencil art, sticker art, spray paint art, B&W, color, small, […]
Street art in Hong Kong: Neon Golden
Friends and loyal readers know how much I love street art. I wrote articles about it here, here, here and here. (In fact, I have written some more articles about street art and murals. Just type these words in the searchengine in the right side bar of my blog and they will pop up for […]
Mural Art @ Singapore River
After four posts about fashion, it’s time for something else: art. Street art to be precise. In Singapore graffiti, street art and murals are illegal. Unless commissioned, of course. Spontaneity, improvisation and bottom-up initiatives are not really promoted or appreciated by the government. As a consequence there are not a lot of murals to be found. But for […]
Piedra Negra, Haji Lane, Singapore.
One of my most popular posts of all times is the one about restaurant Piedra Negra from february 2011. One of the most funky restaurants I know in Singapore, in terms of decor, inside and out. Next to the also cool Blue Jazz Cafe. In the off-the beaten street Haji Lane, full of indie shops and restaurants […]
Kerala Art
Apart from the Kochi Biennale, there was also other art to be found along the way. First we saw these murals, while driving by in our taxi, on our way to our backwater tour. I stopped, got out and took some pics. They did seem a bit grim and political here and there, so I was […]
Kochi biennale
When we were at Kochi, staying at the Vivanta by Taj, Malabar, it so happened that India’s first ever Biennale was held in Cochin. To be more precise, it actually just ended, after having been there for 3 months:-(. Boohoo…. But….it seemed to have been extended with a couple of days, so we were able to pick […]
