100 Dollar collection - Homer Simpson

"100 Dollar collection - Homer Simpson" is a work that blends elements of pop culture with a reflection on contemporary society, created by the artist Simone De Rosa in 2024. Belonging to the street art style, the piece combines collage and painting to express an original and provocative concept.

The main subject is Homer Simpson, the iconic character from the TV series "The Simpsons," depicted with an explosive acrylic color palette on a background made of 100-dollar bills. The collage technique gives the piece a unique texture, while the bills themselves, symbols of wealth and consumerism, are used as the base for a portrait of a character who represents, with his appearance and behavior, a parody of popular culture and contemporary values.

The piece’s small dimensions (18 cm x 40 cm) contrast with the visual power of the color choices: Homer Simpson's vivid yellow stands out against a complex background of splashes of gold, black, yellow, and white paint, enriching the composition and adding a sense of dynamism. The white stars scattered across the image introduce a touch of lightness and perhaps a reference to the American Dream and its promises of success and opulence.

"100 Dollar Homer Simpson" is not just a tribute to a well-known character, but an analysis of themes like money, consumerism, and iconoclasm—elements typical of today's world—expressed through the language of street art.
