Fukow was the tag of a graffiti artist based in Żoliborz, Warsaw. They were known for their characteristic stylised pigeon, examples of which on Paweł Suzin Street have been nominated for preservation by a councillor in the artists home district.

Following the reported death of the artist, Konrad Smoczny, a local councillor in Żoliborz, put forward an interpellation that examples of Fukow's graffiti on a local cinema be preserved during renovation work. The specific work it was proposed to retain featured a yellow pigeon alongside the verse:
