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. This dot, upon inspection, is revealed to represent the back of a miniature Manneken Pis statue, the famous Brussels fountain figure. 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. The sculpture is signed on a certificate by Monk, highlighting his approach to blending playful irony with minimalist design.

Artwork by Laure Prouvost

What is Lettrism?

Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
