  Union Jack (Four-Part) is a one-of-a-kind Serialist Masterpiece by Brent Doty that deconstructs and reinterprets the iconic British flag across four panels. Constructed with layered imagery, historical fragments, and abstracted symbolism, the work explores national identity, cultural heritage, and the evolving narratives of history through a contemporary lens.
 
  Brent’s serialist approach uses repetition, fragmentation, and accumulation to transform a familiar symbol into a complex visual investigation. Each panel builds upon the others, revealing layers of political, historical, and social meaning while maintaining the striking visual geometry of the original flag. The work invites viewers to reflect on tradition, symbolism, and how collective memory shapes cultural identity.
 
  Union Jack (Four-Part) is designed for collectors who value historical context, bold composition, and conceptual sophistication. Ideal for female collectors, corporate environments, interior designers, and luxury condo spaces, the multi-panel painting functions as a one-of-a-kind focal point and investment-grade artwork—thought-provoking, visually commanding, and deeply contemporary.
