大马街头艺术家蔡威勇坚持于自身的使命，透过创造出一幅幅正能量的画作，来让大家对涂鸦改观，不再认为涂鸦是在破坏公物，甚至影响市容的美观，而是一种艺术。 Street artist Kenji Chai hopes to shift public perception and misconception towards graffiti by creating artworks with positive energy and message. Instead of an act of vandalism, Kenji believes that street art, if applied in the right context, can enliven a city with aesthetic values and optimism. 涂鸦艺术家。蔡威勇自幼喜欢绘画，曾从事平面设计工作；惟之后发现这份工作的枯燥乏味让他无所适从，也找不回当初绘画的美好。他希望自己的想法得到更实际的诠释方式，进而开始接触涂鸦。他曾和彪马 (PUMA)、立邦漆 (Nippon Paint) 等知名品牌合作，最近为城中精品酒店 RED by SIROCCO 绘出一面高达 87.1 公尺、宽达 20.6 公尺的壁画，获得《马来西亚纪录大全》认证，列为“马来西亚最高壁画”。他认为涂鸦赋予一个地方生命力，因此将作品融入大环境中，为这忙碌都市带来一份正能量，也同时起了美化功效。 Kenji Chai is a street artist. He started his career as a graphic designer, but was soon bored by the insipid nature of the job. Seeking to rediscover his own interest in painting and freedom of expression, Chai turned to graffiti. He has collaborated with Puma and Nippon Paint, and his recent commission - an 87.1m x 20.62m mural on the side of the RED by Sirocco Hotel in KL - received recognition from the Malaysia Book of Records for the Tallest Mural in Malaysia. Chai believes that street art can enliven a place with aesthetic qualities, and if applied in the right context, bestow a place with positive energy.
