The "Rage Against the Machine" mural was completed in November 2016 by Ernest Zacharevic, a Lithuanian artist who started the street arts revolution in Malaysia in 2012.
I first saw the artwork in July 2017 and really admired it. But, when I revisited Kuala Lumpur 7 years later, the artwork was long gone. It was really a pity!
In "Rage Against the Machine", Ernest Zacharevic had used the dilapidated shell of an old school bus as the subject with school children raging against it. There were supposedly 7 school children, carrying out some actions around the burning bus, but was left with 6 when I found it. A "boy" standing near the rear wheel of the bus was already missing and a wooden pole was left standing in its place.
As the artwork was located in a car park, it was difficult to get a clear shot at it without any cars parking there. So, I made it looked like a parked car had rammed the bus in the photo below. It was fun!
The usual advice for hunting street arts: find them before they are gone!
