Century of Self

Joshua Maupin’s “Century of Self” is a bold and humorous work that captures the artist’s signature blend of pop surrealism and cartoon-infused satire. Rendered in vibrant, saturated tones and thick outlines, the piece features a familiar bunny character caught in an absurd situation—tangled inside a toilet under a stark hanging light. It’s both hilarious and unsettling, pulling viewers into a scene that blurs the line between childhood nostalgia and surreal discomfort.

 

The work measures 24 x 36 inches and is offered as a limited edition print of 50, each accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity. Maupin’s style draws from lowbrow art and mid-century animation, using humor and exaggeration to explore the strangeness of modern life. With its sharp visual wit and collectible format, “Century of Self” stands as a strong example of contemporary fine art that refuses to take itself too seriously—while still making a statement.
