Mural dedicated to a homeless dog named Kupata
- Description
Hidden in the corners of Batumi are stories that have found a second life on the walls of buildings. One of these stories is a story about a dog named Kupata. Her mural, created by the talented graphic designer Giorgi Gamezardashvili, attracts the gazes of passers-by.
Georgy, who graduated from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, is far from standard ideas about art. Cartoon images inspired by the cult TV series "The Simpsons" are often traced in his works.
Kupata's dog, depicted on the mural in a crown, has become a symbol of indifference to the surrounding world. Her fame began with a viral video where a little mongrel helped children safely cross a busy road, boldly encountering cars. Soon, thanks to her fearlessness and devotion, Kupata gained the status of a national hero in Georgia. The donated booth and the grandiose mural in Batumi only confirm its extraordinary popularity. And in 2020, Georgian politician Anna Dolidze humorously proposed to nominate a dog for the post of prime minister.
Year of creation: 2020

Мурал "Собака Купата" в Батуми - это настоящее сердце города на стене! Очень мило видеть, как искусство отдает дань уважения такому легендарному и любимому герою, как Купата. Этот мурал приносит улыбку каждому, кто его видит, напоминая о доброте, бескорыстии и радости, которые может принести одно маленькое существо. Отличный пример того, как искусство может объединять людей и рассказывать истории, важные для общества.

The graffiti depicts a famous dog named Kupata.One morning, fate made the dog famous: a local resident shot a video of children crossing the road at one of Batumi's busy intersections. A stray dog was running beside them, barking at cars (as if it was urging them to obey traffic rules) and wagging its tail sweetly, escorting the children to the sidewalk.The video has been viewed by half a million people in a few days. The dog was featured in several local and international television news programs.

Граффити знаменитого пса Купата стали популярными после того, как местный житель запечатлел момент, когда дети переходили дорогу на одном из оживленных перекрёстков Батуми. Бездомная собака, именуемая Купата, весело лаяла на машины, будто призывая их соблюдать ПДД, и мило виляла хвостом, сопровождая детей до тротуара. Видео стало вирусным, привлекая внимание как местных, так и международных СМИ.
