10 YEARS AGO, Ernest Zacharevic debuted his first solo art exhibition, “Art is Rubbish is Art”, at Hin Bus Depot (HBD), setting into motion a chain of events that would kick-start the entire venture and turn the derelict building into the beloved, bustling hangout spot it is today. A decade later, the Lithuanian artist, now Penang-based, is holding another art exhibition at the place where it all started. “Art is Still Rubbish” pays homage to its first rendition, showcasing never-before-exhibited works of the artist.
At his studio in Lebuh Melayu, surrounded by his stunning works of art, some completed, others still in progress, we talk to Ernest about his journey as an artist and what art means to him.
