The Rebel Bear I Hope You Never Fit In

- Originally painted in Leith in 2024.

The Rebel Bear I Hope You Never Fit In brings together graffiti artist Ben Saville’s signature phrase and The Rebel Bear’s distinctive visual style. The Bear first encountered the pink-lettered phrase sprayed on a wall in London and was so struck by its message that he reached out to its author. That conversation led to a creative collaboration.

The resulting mural of “I Hope You Never Fit In” features a smiling, colourfully dressed older woman, leaning on a cane and standing tall beneath the now-iconic phrase. It’s a tribute to self-expression, eccentricity, and embracing who you are – loudly, boldly, and unapologetically.

The Rebel Bear I Hope You Never Fit In has been repainted at full scale at the BOXXS Linlithgow exhibition at Mill Road Industrial Estate. This piece invites visitors to find joy in standing out rather than blending in.
