Bart Simpson by Facundo Yebne | FLY Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Resin, Mosaic Dimensions: 40 x 30 in Year: 2024 Price: $5500.00 USD Status: available This wall based artwork depicts Bart Simpson rendered entirely from glow in the dark miniature resin ducks. The image translates a globally recognizable animated character into a pixelated sculptural surface merging pop culture with meticulous hand assembly. From a distance the character is instantly legible. Up close the work reveals hundreds of individual resin ducks functioning as both material and visual units. The glow in the dark resin introduces a dual presence. In standard lighting the work reads as a bold graphic composition. In low light it transforms emphasizing endurance visibility and persistence beyond the immediate moment. By reconstructing an iconic figure through repeated small elements the piece explores themes of accumulation collective structure and cultural memory. The work reflects FLY’s practice of transforming familiar symbols into communal compositions where meaning emerges through repetition scale and shared recognition. Why collect this work?Bart Simpson’s familiar outline is rebuilt from tightly repeated units, making recognition depend on accumulation rather than a continuous drawn surface. FLY describes repetition and familiar imagery as ways to address collective structure. Here, that approach shifts attention between a single cartoon figure and the many matching components from which it is formed.In the photograph, enlarged white eyes and heavy black contours organize yellow, blue and pink areas. Bart’s bent posture and extended fist compress the figure into a tense diagonal, while the pink baseline anchors the movement.The catalogue identifies a 40-by-30-inch resin mosaic composed of miniature glow-in-the-dark ducks. These units operate like pixels, carrying the image collectively while remaining individually legible. The reported glow is not shown in this photograph.The work gives material form to a mass-circulated cartoon image, allowing an encounter with how cultural familiarity can be assembled, fragmented and sustained through repetition.
