Boxing Dogs Graffiti – Grand Union Canal

It’s always good to see some new high-​standard graffiti art, and this is some of the best I’ve seen in a long time. It’s located on the bank of the Grand Union Canal, on the far side from the towpath. The location is between the public access from Mare Street and the gate into Victoria Park.
The painting shows two stylised dogs, with spiky teeth and wearing boxing gloves, apparently fighting. Behind them a rather shifty looking human is carrying off what could be a bag of money.
Of course the subject is a little disturbing. I in no way support dog fighting. But then it doesn’t look to me like the artist does either. The dogs in this look noble if fierce, while the human is not shown positively: he’s definitely doing something underhand and looking pretty gloating about it.
It’s painted in brilliant colours, and the style is unique. I hope it’s there for a long time.
