In “Marlon Brando” (2024), Maximilian Wiedemann resurrects the golden age of rebellion, casting Brando in his most iconic role—leather-clad and cigarette-lipped in The Wild One. But look closer, and the myth fractures: this isn't just Brando—he’s built from a thousand fragmented selves, silkscreened in meticulous layers, each forming the sum of his legend.

A cinematic icon becomes a mosaic of moments, multiplied into permanence. Wiedemann’s signature technique of constructing his subjects from repeated micro-portraits creates an optical illusion: from afar, a brooding biker god; up close, an almost obsessive study of identity, fame, and fragmentation.

The color gradient—gritty monochrome overtaken by electric bursts of yellow, cyan, and magenta—channels the transition from Hollywood noir to pop myth. The piece speaks directly to collectors drawn to Pop Art’s evolution, and to anyone who understands that true cool never dies—it’s reborn in layers.

Own a symbol of masculinity, rebellion, and film history—reimagined through a thoroughly contemporary lens.
