Frankenstein Spray & Hearts Spray & Can I Love You! (3x)

Beschrijving

Each thumb printed, dated 2017 and numbered 64/260 & 49/260 & 42/260 on the bottom. Three spray cans finished with spray paint making each one unique. (3x)

Note: Thierry Guetta, best known by his moniker Mr. Brainwash, is a French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist. A provocative figure in the world of street art, Mr. Brainwash practices an irreverent brand of appropriation. Much like Warhol, Mr. Brainwash re-appropriates popular images and juxtaposes them within his canvas - however, where Warhol used Marilyn, Brainwash uses Charlie Chaplin. The artist subtly alters the picture or its context, mischievously undermining the tone of the source material. A number of critics have observed that his works strongly emulate the styles and concepts of Banksy, and have speculated that Guetta is an elaborate prank staged by Banksy, who may have created the works himself. He has been quoted as saying, “Banksy captured me becoming an artist, in the end, I became his biggest work of art.”
