Following Art Wherever It Goes | Sama-sama Ikut Seni

Mist149, Bangsar, 2009

TLG is a new graffiti art movement screaming through the streets of KL. It stands for talangjan which in this cases means producing the best of the best graffiti art in Malaysia that doesn’t imitate but innovates its own unique local style that incorporates Malaysian tropical colours, pop culture, traditional culture (batik, wayang, malay wood carving and the natural environment  eg. crazy forms of the pokok ara roots (ficus tree). The movement began in 2008 and the family of artists has been growing ever since. The aim is simple, to professionalise practice, as well as stress the importance of documentation, research and development, in order to not be an ‘end user’ of international styles. At present TLG includes: They, The Kioue, Tha-B, Bibichun, Jeng (who recently graced the Klang river retaining wall by Pasar Seni with a tribute to the late Yasmin Ahmad), Damis, Mile09, Poosad, A80S, Snozze, Skore, Spacemaggot, Burp, Vlt, Mistawhy, Germ, Some70, Pelat, Mist149, Suga52, Nas-el, Thespastick and Kangblablaa with many more joining.

ARTERI is thrilled to provide another platform their work and will be presenting more and more photo galleries for you to think about. A lot of the works disappear quite fast so its all about documentation to keep the legacy going.
