STREET ART AT LAMAN SENI 7, SHAH ALAM, JALAN PLUMBUM R7/R, SEKSYEN

7 SHAH ALAM,SELANGOR,MALAYSIA

MURAL PAINTING - Any piece of artwork painted or applied

directly on a wall , ceiling or other large permanent surface is considered a mural painting .

Shah Alam’s Mural Painting• Shah Alam is a purpose-planned city to take over as the capital of Selangor

after it's former capital Kuala Lumpur was declared a national territory. Being a pre-planned city, it is modern, well structured with many nice parks, and iconic buildings such as the renown blue-domed state mosque - the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque.

• However, many planned cities in the world are seen as too conforming, too structured in physical design and community planning; too disciplined to allow the resident's to open up their creativity.

• But for Shah Alam, this is changing; the authorities have opened up and are encouraging the Arts. The artists are having a field day, doing what they do best creating masterpieces in the side and back alleys here. And they have done a great job of incorporating the buildings' pipework, original paintwork and even equipment as part of their art. Some of these murals are in 3-D form with physical props being part of their art.
