A rebar (short for reinforcing bar), is commonly used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete. Besides its functional purpose, it was used for metal mural works of the pseudo-socialistic era. These works, with their false optimistic scenes, decorated firewalls of buildings. Also, the well known home made objects of that era, like flower-racks, window grids, and fence ornaments used this material. These objects were typical examples of the DIY diversity in the socialist lack-economy. Here we are collecting 'useful / APPLIED' and 'useless / PUBLIC' steel-based DRAWINGS, not necessarily focusing only on rebar.

Georgetown

Amazing wire art in Georgetown, Penang (Malaysia) 

"These sculptures started out as a project called “Marking Georgetown” to celebrate Georgetown as a UNESCO heritage site. These welded iron wall caricatures featuring the work of Penang cartoonists such as Baba Chuah are erected around the alleyways of the area. Despite being termed as street art, they are approved by the government who has intentions of promoting Georgetown as an international heritage tourism destination."
