This unique street art series from artist Ernest Zacharevic adorns the streets of Malaysia in a way that's even more playful than usual. Rather than just arbitrarily putting a design up on a wall, these pieces of street art are reliant on their surroundings in order to be fully understood.
Some of these pieces include paintings on walls with bicycles placed in front of them, so that it looks as if the paintings are interacting with the actual bicycles that are propped up against the wall. Some other great examples include fun pieces of art that play with moss growing on the sides of buildings, or even wheelbarrows that appear on the sides of the streets.
