Acrylic sculpture; signature on certificate; perfect condition -- This is a unique wall sculpture by Jonathan Monk. On the front, you see just a white box with a black dot in the middle. But inside, on the back part, there's a small 'manneken pis' sculpture. The black dot is meant to represent the little boy's backside in the sculpture. Each one is signed by Jonathan Monk. There are 14 of these sculptures, each with a different 'manneken pis' inside // Backside Brussels I by Jonathan Monk is a unique acrylic wall sculpture created in 2016, capturing the artist’s playful approach to perception and expectation. The artwork consists of a minimalistic white box with a small black dot at the center, which hints at the artwork's interactive aspect. Upon inspection, viewers discover that the dot represents the back of a tiny Manneken Pis figure, symbolizing Brussels’ famous statue. Monk’s witty concept reinterprets the iconic figure by showing only its “backside,” encouraging the viewer to engage with the piece and consider what’s hidden beyond its simplistic exterior. This limited-edition piece (one of 14 unique sculptures) is signed by the artist on a certificate and brings humor and intrigue, blurring the line between sculpture and concept.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
