Baba Chuah George Town Caricature Sculptures is a set of steel-rod sculptures placed at strategic locations in George Town. They are the work of local cartoonist Baba Chuah. Chuah made his debut in the cartoon scene when he was published in Falsafah Batu Api in 1991. This led to the use of his work by Creative Enterprise for their "Fantasi" anthology series.

In 2000, Baba Chuah entered the international scene when his work, Midsummer Night's Hunt, was published by the US publisher, Dark Horse, in Issue No. 156. Today Chuah continues to be heavily involved in the comics scene. So far, three of his caricatures have been selected for the street art commission by the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) though the design company, Sculpture at Work.

The following are some of Baba Chuah's caricature sculptures in George Town.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
