One of the most conceptually significant works within the Pixel Remix series, Magritte Pixel Remix revisits René Magritte’s iconic The Son of Man through the visual language that defines the artist’s practice: the pixel.

Constructed from hundreds of hand-placed Venetian glass tesserae, the work explores the evolution of image-making itself. If Magritte’s original painting questioned what remains hidden behind appearances, this reinterpretation reveals a different kind of concealment: the technological structure through which contemporary society now experiences images.

The famous apple remains suspended before the face, but the illusion is interrupted by the visible grid of the mosaic. The viewer is simultaneously confronted with the image and with the mechanism that produces it. The work becomes a bridge between painting, print culture, digital screens, and material craftsmanship.

This dialogue between art history and technology has been a recurring theme throughout the artist’s career. By transforming one of the most recognizable images of Surrealism into a field of physical pixels, the piece reflects on how visual culture has migrated from pigment and ink toward systems built from light, data, and digital information.

The first edition was acquired immediately after its presentation, confirming the enduring relevance of this visual and conceptual reinterpretation.
