Street Art Wall Murals @ AKLEH Klang River Storm Water Drains Pt.3
Klang River, AKLEH, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - September 2020
Our cycling rides have taken us to many an interesting place, often for food but also to historical places, and interestingly also to odd places with beautiful artwork!
This is page 3 of a 3-page blog, click below to go to other pages :
- KL Grafitti Mural @ AKLEH Storm Drains Pt.2.
Be warned though, these are storm-water drains, and during the torrential monsoon rain they can fill up pretty high - SO DO NOT ENTER during rainy days/season.
Okay, enough of the preamble. Lets have a look at the wall murals, these are pretty large spanning about 20 to 30 feet long and taking up the full height (about 10-15 feet) of the drain walls. These are presented here in the order that they were seen starting from the LRT Damai Station and heading to the LRT Datuk Keramat Station. Some would say that these graffiti artists are amateurs, but looking at the artwork they have created, their attention to colours and detailing is superb.
Due to photography angle, and for presentation purposes, many of photos shown here have been cropped, so it is better to go there and see these artworks for yourselves when you have the opportunity.
Below are the artwork, click on the photo to view. Enjoy!
THANX from a villian?
Psychedelic art, do you see a dog head there at the centre?
A chimpanzee samurai, had the Planet of the Apes gone to Japan? More likely this is connected to the Japanese series 'Saru no Gundan' (猿の軍団, 'Army of the Apes').
Must be some moralistic line here; something to do with lust & death?
Pink Word Art on orange background.
More Word Art on orange background.
Ooooo.... Kinky & Hardcore, green hairspray & green lipstick!
Looks like a grumpy dog, doing graffiti.
More Word Art; the artists are really creative, turning these simple word art into something dynamic. May look simple but must have taken the artist a great effort.
Another rat, a cheeky one painting graffiti too?
Dynamic Word Art, perhaps following the colors of Thailand's flag or Flag of the Netherlands.
Masked Artist - because of Covid-19, don't think so as these artwork done before the pandemic.
More word art.
Cool guy, chill guy.... doing his hair with a flame torch 😆!
Evil under control?
Represented by an evil satanic being tied with golden string, maybe it's Wonder Woman's Lasso.

Guy turning pink high on something not good (see, the satanic ram horns).
One of the few Black & White artwork.
Not sure what this means, but the bespectacled guy looks like one of my smarter philosophical friends.
Some of the artists seems fixated on "The Planet of the Apess" theme; or perhaps this is a spin off from "Teenage Mutants Ninja Turtles"?
The Word Art artists seems to have a field day, such artwork seems to outnumber the rest;
..... but still these are not easy to draw and need some imagination. The one above based on a haunted them, perhaps it's the Bate's hotel from Psycho!
Golden Techno Word Art.
The color scheme of this one together with the star reminds me of Captain America!
A bit zany, like words superimposed onto a city block.
Cartoon cat character; thought this was Sylvester the cat, form Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies, that goes after Tweety Bird. But it looks more like a Japanese cartoon cat.
One serious-looking owl. Big one with only one yellow eye.
More word are that seems to spell Green Jungle on a blue sea.
This is on NASTY one with scary teeth, may have jumped out from Nightmare On Elm Street!
Word Art that looks like a modern version of a Chinese Junk with the setting sun behind.
Word Art with some floral bits.
