Historical Description

Mr. Brainwash Life is Beautiful, 2023 is a steel sculpture that follows the signature style of bright, colorful graffiti and superimposed images of iconic figures in popular culture. Painted silver as the initial layer, the work contains a multitude of dripping paints that range from all colors of the spectrum, with noticeable lines of green as they cascade down the work.

The sculpture reads ‘Life is Beautiful’, while also containing the words “I LOVE YOU!” and “FOREVER” on the base, with images of the Warholian soup cans turned by Mr. Brainwash into vegetable-flavored aerosol sprays in the lower right corner, and a superimposed image of the iconic Disney mouse, Mickey with his hands on his hips, glancing upwards.

The entire composition is layered with references to the art world, consumerism, and culture that has dominated our society in the last half century. The sculpture takes full use of its compositional space, giving the viewer a look into the saturated, multi-layered, witty, and unique world of Mr. Brainwash.

Created in 2023, Mr. Brainwash Life is Beautiful is a stencil and mixed media on steel sculpture. This work is hand-signed by Mr. Brainwash (Garges-lès-Gonesse 1966 - ). This is a unique and original work.
