"100 Dollar collection - Uncle Scrooge"
is a work that blends elements of pop culture with a reflection on consumerism and wealth, created by the artist Simone De Rosa in 2024. The street art style characterizes the piece, which uses a collage technique combined with acrylic painting to depict Uncle Scrooge, one of the most iconic characters from the Disney universe, in a modern and critical context.
The main subject of the work, Uncle Scrooge, is drawn with vibrant acrylic colors, with a predominant use of yellow, which highlights the character's figure. The composition includes a collage of 100-dollar bills, symbols of wealth and material desire, which enrich the background of the piece, creating a contrast between the character and the culture of money.
The small dimensions of the work (18 cm x 40 cm) are enhanced by the visual power of the colors used. In addition to the dominant yellow, the piece features splashes of pink, black, and white paint, which add dynamism to the composition and give a vibrant look to Uncle Scrooge's figure. The use of these colors, along with the collage, emphasizes the central theme of the work: the relationship between the iconic character and the symbol of money.
"100 Dollar Uncle Scrooge" is not just a tribute to the famous Disney character but a critical interpretation of wealth, consumerism, and modern society, explored through the bold language of street art.
