"I had planned to pay homage to one of the greats of street art, Keith Haring, and for this I have chosen one of his most popular pieces. Keith Haring's social dog is one of his icons. Featuring the barking dog he called people to stand up and protest against the economic and social situation of the time, the situation of the 70's and 80's in New York. In fact, he was one of the key creators to understand the roots of art related to political protest. Even Bansky has paid homage to Haring by using this famous dog. Like Bansky, Haring was very popular thanks to the visual impact and political energy of his work."
