Crazy Felix

Crazy Felix by Simone De Rosa is a striking example of neo-pop expression — a vibrant, mixed-media artwork that redefines a beloved cultural icon through the lens of urban art. Hand-cut from MDF and finished with dynamic layers of acrylic and spray paint, the piece balances playful chaos with meticulous craftsmanship.

De Rosa’s interpretation of Felix the Cat is both nostalgic and provocative: the iconic cartoon figure is recast with cross-eyed irreverence, a lolling tongue, and bold graphic symbols scattered across the canvas. The split-tone background — blending raw street energy with digital-age motifs — amplifies the sense of rebellious joy and emotional tension.

Every element, from the crown to the pixelated hearts, has been purposefully placed to evoke themes of identity, consumer culture, and the absurdity of modern optimism. The painted frame is integrated as part of the composition, enhancing the immersive, object-like quality of the work.

This is not just a character—it’s a statement.

Ideal For:
Collectors of pop, street, and urban art; curators and designers seeking unique crossover pieces; or anyone who appreciates art that provokes both memory and meaning.
