AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Toons (contemporary artist, France) created “IN ICON WE TRUST” (2026), an original mixed-media artwork, fully hand-painted and realized on an authentic one-dollar US bill. Part of the SPECIAL SERIES: LOONEY TUNES, this piece is offered in a limited edition 2/25, signed by the artist, in excellent condition, in a pop art / street art aesthetic exploring iconic culture, visual celebrity, and the power of contemporary symbols.
Edition: 2/25
Reference: BB-115-01-2026
Original work created entirely by hand in a mixed-media technique (acrylic and Posca marker) on an authentic 1-dollar US bill (USD).
In this composition, Toons subverts the famous monetary slogan to transform it into a cultural statement: In Icon We Trust. Bugs Bunny, a mythical figure of global pop culture, here asserts himself as a new modern icon, symbolically replacing the traditional figure associated with value.
The bold, colorful typography converses with the image of the character, creating a visual tension between cartoon humor and the language of power. As he bites into his carrot with assurance, Bugs Bunny embodies a confident and almost irreverent attitude toward the system, reminding us that today's true symbols are no longer solely financial — they are cultural.
By painting directly on a real banknote, the artist transforms real currency into a narrative surface. The work questions what we choose to believe: monetary value... or the power of popular icons that shape our collective imagination.
A pop, graphic, and incisive play, where satire meets contemporary elegance.
