Mr Brainwash: Unique Works

A new body of work, produced exclusively in 2009 for Guy Hepner. Mr Brainwash paintings are all unique. They are produced in a variety of different media and are diverse in content. Working with graffiti, stencil, acrylic, screen print and vinyl, paintings are applied to canvas, paper, cardboard and found objects. Subject matter is often appropriated from other contemporary and pop artists, but reinterpreted with a skeptical evaluation of the Utopian ideal the originally propagated. Appropriation art is often misunderstood and seen as unoriginal and devoid of progressive ideas, although what is actually being sought is a progression on the original ideas put forward. Mr Brainwash is one of the most recent advocates of this school of painting, following own from highly respected 1960s artists including Richard Pettibone and Elaine Sturtevant.
