  This one-of-a-kind Serialist Masterpiece by Brent Doty celebrates Jim Henson, the visionary behind the Muppets and a towering figure in puppetry and storytelling. Constructed from layered biographical, historical, and pop-culture references, the painting reconstructs Henson as both creator and cultural touchstone—capturing his imagination, humor, and enduring influence.
 
  Brent’s serialist approach mirrors Henson’s process: repetition, play, and transformation. Visual fragments of iconic characters, archival imagery, and performance references accumulate into a meta-portrait that invites exploration, reflection, and delight. The work honors Henson’s commitment to creativity, collaboration, and wonder, translating it into a bold contemporary artwork that resonates with both nostalgia and critical engagement.
 
  Jim Henson is designed for collectors who value cultural legacy, intellectual play, and visually compelling contemporary art. Ideal for female collectors, corporate offices, creative studios, interior designers, and modern condo spaces, the painting functions as a one-of-a-kind focal point and investment-grade work—immersive, celebratory, and deeply personal.
