Street Art @ Shah Alam Laman Seni 7
Section 7, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia - November 2014

| "A Single Mother" - an allusion that in today's rate race, we rush around wildly to prepare our children for school. |
I had previously viewed the wall mural street art at Section 2 of this capital city of Selangor and was quite captivated by it in the sense that art is growing in a clinical and disciplined newly built city.
Now it has got even better, there are more creative creations by local artist at the Laman Seni 7 at Section 7 of the city. And what is more important is that regularly on weekends stalls are set up for artists to show their pieces to the public. This will really be a boost for the creative ones; I can imagine youngsters viewing the wall murals and at the same time interacting and be motivated by the artists at their stalls.
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.
Here are the art, enjoy!
Viewers will be reflected in the broken mirror shards while they take a photo here and becoming part of the picture. This begets the question, "What Are You Doing?".
- a warning for us to halt global warming before it "melts" us.

Don't be sucked in by the hollow pretentious physical values of life.
Still praying for the MAS crashed planes; the jigsaw puzzle signifying the puzzlement of how the planes crashed.
Feeling blue & frustrated?
I wonder what they are releasing, a physical dump or a mental one?
There are no real doors here, the painting are onto the wall and surrounded by metal door frames. Real timber doors are screwed onto the walls.
Are feelings all in the mind?

This refers to three well-known actors of the Malaysian movies (P. Ramlee, S. Shamsuddin and Aziz Sattar) in their roles in the movie "Bujang Lapok" (Three Bachelors).
Forests and trees are the source of rivers; we have to protect them, replant them, instead of cutting them down.

Factory equipment; viewers can insert them into this setting and act out the role of Mario, the video game character.
Viewers can sit on the "rubble stone bench" and fantasize about whatever they need to. Presumably, the red square is where one puts one's head.
A person who is fierce on the outside but an angel on the inside, OR perhaps boiling anger on the outside but peacefully calm within.
This piece seems to have been vandalised, looks like some 3-D props are missing, so it's hard to tell what is their story. I leave it to you to interpret those acronyms.
The wheel was the best idea mankind had, and idea locked up in a crate waiting to be released.
A little boy looks outwards wistfully into the courtyard, yearning to go out an play. The cats at the windows are a nice touch.

Portrait of a pop singer, with the air-conditioning compressors clever use for his glassed. But I wonder, why the Japanese flag?
A life giving tree with a hole in it peeking out to the beach. A bench is placed under it on a painted garden, whilst the air conditioning compressors seems to be the fruits that this tree bears.
Another nature's voice made by an elephant breaking through the wall from a natural riverside.
Colourful balloons flying away.
Our mother world globe made from recycle materials like old plated, spoons, forks, etc.
