Acrylic sculpture; signature on certificate; perfect condition // Backside Brussels III by Jonathan Monk is a clever acrylic wall sculpture from 2016 that examines themes of iconic imagery and hidden detail. The piece appears as a minimal white box with a tiny black dot in the center, which, upon investigation, represents the back of a miniature Manneken Pis sculpture on the reverse side of the box. This particular edition features a colorful, unique variant of the Manneken Pis inside, adding a playful twist to its otherwise minimalist facade. Part of a series of 14 unique sculptures, each with a different variant of the Manneken Pis, this piece encourages the viewer to look beyond the surface. Signed on a certificate, Monk’s work combines wit and simplicity, challenging perceptions and inviting curiosity in a sleek and understated form.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
