The diptych presents a distinctive interpretation of two iconic characters from popular culture, Bart and Lisa Simpson. Both are represented using plastic figures, which gives them a three-dimensional and nostalgic feel. Bart appears seated, reflected on a floor that duplicates his image, creating a sense of depth and reflection. The grey background contrasts with the character’s vibrant colours, accentuating his presence. In the other panel, Lisa is silhouetted against an intense blue background, looking out at the viewer, evoking the intimacy of a portrait. This set of works serves as a tribute to the iconic television series, capturing the essence of the characters in a contemporary format.
