The Rebel Bear depicts Nigel Farage with a long nose and burning underpants, hanging beneath a winged pink pig on Charlotte Street in Glasgow, Scotland. Street Art Cities dates the work to September 8, 2026. These four photographs by MuralsScotland show the installation and its details.

The Rebel Bear’s street artwork in Glasgow shows Nigel Farage with a long nose and flaming underpants, hanging beneath a winged pink pig.

The pig’s wings stretch above the fence, leaving the sky behind them. A saddle sits across its back, and Farage grips the hanging strap below. The shaped edges are visible in this close-up: the pig projects beyond the surface carrying the rest of the scene.

A nose like Pinocchio’s

Farage’s nose reaches across his raised arm, adding a familiar reference to lying. Glasgow Live’s report also highlights the burning underpants and flying pig.

💡 Nerd Fact: Collodi’s original story takes the joke further: after Pinocchio lies to the Fairy, she summons a thousand woodpeckers to peck his enlarged nose back to its normal size.

Nuart Aberdeen’s introduction to The Rebel Bear describes a practice that includes politics, love and human emotion, with street works across Scotland and cities including London, Mumbai and New York.
