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 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.
