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 ‘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.
