mr. brainwash

Today I came across the work of Mr. Brainwash a documentary film maker turned street artist. Here is a link to some images of his recent show. note the set up for the show itself is great.

"The work of “Life is Beautiful” is rooted in pop art. As Warhol looked to icons of consumer culture and celebrity, MBW looks to art and entertainment as the subjects of his work. Early pop art departed from art’s tradition in favor of images of popular culture. Mr. Brainwash includes artistic tradition and even prior pop art as the subject of his work.

Artistic icons such as Fountain (Marcel Duchamp, 1917) and American Gothic (Grant Wood, 1930) were revisited and remixed to create new works. MBW also references Robert Indiana, Claes Oldenburg, and Jackson Pollock. This could be viewed as a coopting of tradition by the street or an attack on pop culture.

The use of CBS’s studio is a work in itself. By housing his work at the venue and transforming the space into something distinctly his own, an icon of pop culture was turned into a installation of subversive street art. The pop art torch has been passed."
