Acrylic sculpture; signature on certificate; perfect condition // Backside Brussels IV by Jonathan Monk is an acrylic wall sculpture from 2016, part of a limited edition series that combines minimalist aesthetics with a humorous twist. The sculpture appears as a plain white box with a small black dot in the center, which is revealed upon closer inspection to represent the backside of a miniature Manneken Pis figure, the iconic statue from Brussels. This edition contains a unique variation of the Manneken Pis, adorned with the colors of the Belgian flag, adding a patriotic touch to the artwork. Hidden on the reverse side, the small statue contrasts playfully with the otherwise sleek and unassuming exterior. Signed on a certificate, this work exemplifies Monk’s ability to merge simplicity with a surprise element, inviting viewers to look beyond appearances in a witty, thought-provoking way.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
