Impressive huge mural occupying the entire facade of a multi-story building in Bristol city center, depicting an anthropomorphic wolf or dog in purple and electric blue shades. The creature, wearing a turquoise plaid jacket, looks menacingly downward with half-open jaws and piercing gaze. The work, typical of the style of contemporary artists on the international street art scene, transforms an anonymous 1960s building into a work of art that dialogues with the urban skyline. Bristol has embraced street art as a form of urban regeneration, commissioning legal works that have revalued entire neighborhoods of the English port city.
