In Deconstructed Pig (2019), Matt Gondek dissects a beloved cartoon icon with surgical precision, capturing the character mid-explosion. The face peels back to reveal layers of pink flesh and exposed bone, embodying Gondek’s signature “deconstructed pop” aesthetic. This 13-color screen print is a vivid blend of nostalgia and controlled chaos, delivering a sharp commentary wrapped in a glossy veneer of destruction.
About The Artist
Matt Gondek blows up pop culture—literally. Known for his explosive, deconstructed takes on cartoon icons, the LA-based artist strips nostalgia down to the bone with clean lines, candy-coated colors, and chaotic energy. Mickey melts. Bart detonates. It’s destruction as design, rebellion with a smile. Gondek’s work lives at the intersection of street art, lowbrow, and designer toy culture—crisp, collectible, and instantly recognizable. At Mania, we see Gondek as a pop anarchist with precision—an artist who doesn’t just reference the culture, but rips it open and shows us what’s inside.
