Gee whiz, artists are so sensitive!
City sculptor Alex Gardega — seething over the “Fearless Girl” statue being placed across from Wall Street’s “Charging Bull” — has decided to retaliate with a work of his own.
Gardega created a statue of a small dog, titled “Pissing Pug,” and his sloppily crafted pooch takes direct aim at “Fearless Girl” — or, at least, at her left leg.
“This is corporate nonsense,” Gardega told The Post of “Fearless Girl,” saying it was put opposite artist Arturo Di Modica’s famed bull as a publicity stunt by a Boston-based financial firm.

“I decided to build this dog and make it crappy to downgrade the statue, exactly how the girl is a downgrade on the bull,” said Gardega, who has never met the other statues’ creators.Conservative artists needs to take on liberal jerks at every turn... well played.

“I wish the bronze dog was better.”
“The Upper West Side artist sniffed that he even made his dog particularly poorly just to stick it to “Fearless Girl” even more.

I still say that the sculptor of the Bull should rotate his sculpture 180 degrees so Fearless Girl gets a full on view of the bull’s arse.

The fearless girl should be removed. It has no place there and interferes with the intent of the original art.
