The White Tiger of the West by Busyrawk.murals in Edmonton

The White Tiger of the West

This was first of the 4 mural series “The 4 Guardian Beasts of Chinatown” . The 4 constellations - White TIger of the West, Azure Dragon of the East, Vermillion Bird of the South, Black Tortoise of the North are guardians of sacred places. Edmonton’s Chinatown is at a struggle from becoming gentrified and disappeaing. These guardians will be painted across 4 separate locations in Chinatown, each facing their corresponding cardinal directions, protecting Chinatown town encroachers and colonizers. The Azure Dragon will be painted next as it is the auspicious year of the Blue Dragon in 2024.
