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.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
