A New York City artist propped his statue of a urinating dog next to the leg of Wall Street’s “Fearless Girl,” sculpture as a form of counter-protest.

In March, “Fearless Girl,” created by Kristen Visbal, was installed by a Boston-based financial firm as a means of standing up for the lack of gender diversity on the boards of large U.S. corporations. The four-foot girl statue intended to draw attention to the gender pay gap during International Women’s Day.

Alex Gardega, creator of the “Sketchy Dog” statue, told the New York Post he believes the “Fearless Girl” is “corporate nonsense.”

The statue of the pony-tailed girl in a dress stands right across from Arturo Di Modica’s “Charging Bull” statue.

“It has nothing to do with feminism and it is disrespectful to the artist that made the bull,” he said. “That bull had integrity.”

Gardega created the clay and faux bronze pug as an act of solidarity with Di Modica.

“I have a lot of empathy for the creator of the bull, Arturo. He is very upset,” Gardega said.

He claimed he strategically used poor constructed for his pooch, in order to “downgrade” the figure of the girl.

“I decided to build this dog and make it crappy to downgrade the statue, exactly how the girl is a downgrade on the bull,” he said.

Di Modica placed his raging bull statue outside the New York Stock Exchange in 1987 as a symbol of American resilience after the collapse of the stock market. It was relocated from its original location and placed in the Financial District.

The small but striking dog figure evoked a variety of emotions from people who passed by.

“Most people were amused or perplexed by it,” Gardega told NBC News. “Kids petted it, people were taking pictures with it. A few were upset and kicked it.”

However, many women who passed the “Sketchy Dog” sculpture believed it was a misogynistic move.

“That’s an a—hole move. You call this art?” A woman said as she kicked the dog statue.

Gardega claimed he has “nothing against the sculptor whatsoever” and that he is “pro-feminism.” He also said that there is some value within the statue of the young girl, as it evidently makes children happy and “art is supposed to make kids happy.”

After about three hours, he decided to remove the dog, which he intended to create with a sense of humor.

“I’m a pretty happy person, not seething or angry and certainly not anti-feminist,” Gardega said. “My piece is not without a sense of humor but I do feel for Arturo and the integrity of his art. There is plenty of room for ‘Fearless Girl.’ It just interferes with another artist’s work/vision.” About Sarah Ulaky
