Puppy wall at Chrisp street market

Puppy Wall

Rather than 'hidden' this enormous gob-smacking wall art stopped me in my tracks today . This kitsch  dog painted to enormous scale on the side of a block of flats at the back of Chrisp street market.  Reminiscent of a Jeff Coons sculpture and perhaps more ambitious in its intention and delivery it is quite thought provoking. At the bottom of the picture scrawled across the legs is GENTRIFIED does this apply to area or a general exclamation of discontent.?

Chrisp street cannot really be described as gentrified and is in fact a poorer less glamorous area of the east end when compared to Brick lane for example. Maybe this is the point  the art is not 'trendy'  and therefore resonates with its surroundings. It is though certainly eccentric and can only be described as stunning.
