Martin Ron: "The concept of this artwork is following a similar line that I have been doing for a while with the theme of urban surrealism generating situations of fantasy through painting in the street. The public enjoy the humour in my artworks and I very often choose an everyday theme. In this instance, the badger that has been in the news a lot in the UK and was in fact the first news I heard about after I got here. After arriving in London I went to stay in the house of a friend in Oxford and when I turned on the television there was a story about British Prime Minister David Cameron wanting to kill badgers or reduce the population of badgers and the government was saying that the animals carry diseases. When I saw the news story I thought what a pretty animal, what is going on? I thought it would be a great concept for my next mural."
