Mr. Brainwash, ‘Life is Beautiful’, Resin, 2015
Cast resin sculpture
USA, 2015
Mr. Brainwash (b. 1966) –Filmmaker and Pop Artist
From an edition of 100
Signed by the artist, dated, and numbered in ink on the underside
In original signed artist’s box
Dimensions: 5 ½ x 8 ¾ x 1 ½ in. (14 x 22 x 3.5 cm)
Very good condition
Estimate: $800-$1,000

In 2008, Mr. Brainwash made his art show debut with one of Los Angeles's most memorable solo exhibitions, “Life is Beautiful”. The phrase has since become the artist’s signature, inscribing “life is beautiful” on his works, complete with hearts to dot the i’s. This cast resin sculpture is vibrant and playful, the bright yellow emanating from its surface. Often borrowing from history, pop culture and art history, the artist’s irreverent brand of appropriation has made his work highly covetable by contemporary art collectors.



Mr. Brainwash (French, b. 1966)



Born Thierry Guetta, the French street artist and videographer Mr. Brainwash, or MBW, debuted in 2008 with the popular solo exhibition “Life is Beautiful” in Los Angeles. The show was extended for three additional months. He became the main subject of the film “Exit Through the Gift Shop” in 2010 which was allegedly directed by the infamous British street artist Banksy. Working mainly with stenciled pop culture iconography, Mr. Brainwash has also created cover artwork for musicians like Madonna, Michael Jackson, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers and painted a commemorative 9/11 mural for Century 21 in New York.
