“RIP RAPES”
by Ernest Zacharevic
Born in Lithuania, Ernest Zacharevic now lives in Penang, prompting the BBC to refer to him as Malaysia’s answer to Banksy. Equally comfortable creating work for gallery space and on public walls, Zacharevic’s murals respond to their surroundings and engage with the community and culture. On Pleasant St, for the 2017 Blink Festival in Cincinnati, Zacharevic painted a young girl living in the building while incorporating a memorial to the recently passed local graffiti legend Jason Brunson, aka RapesOne. Rapes was also a prominent tattoo artist and son of Designs by Dana founders Dana and Dot. @ernestzacharevic @ernestzacharevic_gallery @jasonb_designsbydana @blinkcincinnati @streetartcities
