100 Dollar collection - Pink Panther

"100 Dollar collection - Pink Panther" is a work that blends pop culture with social critique, created by the artist Simone De Rosa in 2024. Made in the street art style, the piece employs an innovative collage technique, combining 100-dollar bills with acrylic paint to depict the Pink Panther, one of the most iconic characters in animation.

The main subject, the Pink Panther, is drawn with vibrant and bold tones using acrylic colors that highlight its figure. The collage element, which incorporates 100-dollar bills, creates a connection between the animated character and the concepts of wealth and consumerism—recurring themes in contemporary society. The contrast between the fluid drawing of the Pink Panther and the rigid material of the bills creates a visual dialogue that prompts reflection on the culture of money.

The small dimensions of the work (18 cm x 40 cm) balance out with the intensity of the chosen colors. The dominant pink of the Pink Panther blends with splashes of yellow, black, white, and pink paint, creating a visual dynamism and a sense of movement within the image. The color choices and the collage technique merge to express a strong, contemporary message centered around iconoclasm, consumerism, and pop culture.

"100 Dollar collection Pink Panther" is not just a visual representation of an iconic character, but a critical interpretation of the relationship between the symbol of wealth and the entertainment world, expressed through the language typical of street art.
