TLG is a new graffiti art movement screaming through the streets of KL. It stands for THALANJANG 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, BBoy 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.

Graffiti artists Jeng and Kioue drew the mural although they did not know Yasmin personally. — CHAN TAK KONG / The Star.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians from all walks of life have chosen to grieve in their own way over the death of filmmaker Yasmin Ahmad.
A graphic designer and street artist who only wanted to be known as Jeng decided to share his feelings with the world in the form of a mural as tribute to the award-winning film director.
"The mural is my personal tribute to Yasmin. I do not know her personally but I have been following her work since Sepet," he said, adding that he has watched the film seven times.
On Sunday evening, just a few hours after Yasmin was laid to rest, Jeng made his way to the Klang River beside the Pasar Seni LRT station here and left a mark that many Malaysians appreciated, if the responses to the images posted on Facebook and Twitter are anything to go by.
The mural took Jeng slightly more than three hours to complete.
"I started painting at 4pm and Kioue (a fellow street artist) came over later to join me. He painted a wailing boy to complement my portrait of Yasmin," said Jeng.
"A few tourists came by and talked to us.
"A couple from Switzerland were keen to listen about Malaysia and about Yasmin's contribution to the local film industry," he added.
The solar eclipse to take place on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.080. The
phenomenon will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern India,
eastern Nepal, Bhutan, central China and the Pacific Ocean. Among the major
Chinese cities best for viewing the eclipse are Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan,
Hangzhou and Shanghai. A partial eclipse will be seen from the much broader path
of the Moon's penumbra, including most of South East Asia including Malaysia and north-eastern
Oceania.
This total solar eclipse is the longest of its kind and
will only occur once in the 21st century. Totality will last for up to 6 minutes
and 39 seconds, with the maximum eclipse occurring at 02:35:21 UTC about 100 km
south of the Bonin Islands, southeast of Japan. As our prophet Muhammad SAW suggest to do prayer during this period.
