The Rebel Bear
Who is the Rebel Bear?
Nobody knows for sure. And that is exactly the point.
The Rebel Bear is an anonymous street artist from Scotland, known for bold, emotional murals painted directly onto city walls across the world. His work has appeared in London, Paris, Mumbai, Oslo, and New York, often emerging overnight. Vivid, striking, and unannounced. He appears only while wearing a full-body pink bear suit, part protest, part performance, part playful disguise.
His art speaks directly to the world around us, addressing themes like technology’s influence, surveillance, human connection, protest, war, and mental health. Each piece carries a message, even if it is never fully explained.
A bear with something to say
There is no interview circuit. No published agenda.
Just public images, sometimes delicate, sometimes defiant, placed where people will see them, whether they mean to or not.
From lovers separated by masks to AI leading humans on leashes, from mooning riot police to digital currency miners, The Rebel Bear’s work challenges the way we live, scroll, connect, and consume.
While he rarely explains his pieces, one came with just this line:
“No explanation for this piece. Just whatever you take from it.”
Why we brought The Bear to BOXXS
At BOXXS, we believe storage space can be more than just metal and locks. It can hold culture, spark conversation, and make people look twice.
On Sunday 6th July 2025, we launched the world’s first container-based Rebel Bear exhibition, not in a gallery, but across the sides of drive-up storage containers at BOXXS Self Storage in Linlithgow.
What began as a one-day event has now become something lasting.
Now a Permanent Exhibition
Following the success of the July event, we’ve transformed the Linlithgow site into a permanent home for The Rebel Bear Gallery. His powerful stencil-style murals now remain on display across our containers – bold, industrial, and open to all.
For the first time ever, the artist has also signed selected works, making this exhibition not just powerful, but personal.
It’s unexpected. It’s raw. It’s public. Exactly how it should be.
Visit The Rebel Bear and BOXXS Exhibition
Now permanently open to the public. Free to visit. No booking required.
