Acrylic sculpture; signature on certificate; perfect condition // Backside Brussels II by Jonathan Monk is a conceptual acrylic wall sculpture from 2016, playing with themes of perception, humor, and iconic imagery. The artwork features a minimalistic white box with a small black dot at its center.

Hidden on the back of the box, this tiny sculpture adds an unexpected twist to the simple exterior, inviting the viewer to reconsider first impressions and discover what lies beyond. Each piece in this limited edition of 14 sculptures features a unique variant of the Manneken Pis, making each artwork distinct.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
