Disney™ Mickey Mouse® Kitchen Knife Kill'em Kit lures the viewer in with the language of cartoon nostalgia, only to impale that comfort with a violent twist. Rendered on ½" MDF with premium acrylics and lit from behind by programmable LED backlighting, the work merges pop surrealism with subversive iconoclasm.
At its center, a familiar cartoon mouse grins blankly while a hyper-stylized combat knife pierces directly through its head—impossibly clean, absurdly cheerful. The clash of sanitized violence and infantilized joy creates a visual oxymoron: slick, seductive, and sinister.
The soft rear glow heightens the tension, casting the mouse in a sickly halo that blurs the lines between marketing and menace. It is not merely a painting—it is a wall-mounted provocation, designed to dazzle and disturb in equal measure.
