A rare and highly collectable item by one of the leaders in the contemporary street art scene, Thierry Guetta known as Mr Brainwash. This item is part of the infamous Kobe Bryant mural, which Mr Brainwash created in 2020 after the tragic death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. The massive mural was in Los Angeles, California on South La Brea Avenue, located near the L.A.-based artist’s studio. The mural was intended to be a temporary/impermeant installation as it was made entirely of paper. This item being offered can be seen on the top right with the newspaper headliner “De-Fence” (see photo of mural, included for reference). A unique opportunity to own a piece from an original Mr Brainwash mural. From a private collection. Dimensions: 32”h x 21”w x 1”d. In good condition but the item is delicate, and must be handled carefully, especially on edges of paper. For more than a decade, Thierry Guetta, under his moniker, Mr Brainwash, has been pushing the envelope of contemporary art. The orchestrated collision of street art and pop art has been his balancing act. The tipping point for Mr Brainwash was his groundbreaking footage from the widely- acclaimed documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop. Mr Brainwash has designed album covers for Madonna, Rick Ross, and KYGO. His artwork was featured in films and television productions such as Molly’s Game, Billions, Shameless, and the Kardashians. Mr Brainwash’s talents are showcased in creative partnerships with powerhouse brands like Hublot, Coca Cola, and Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee. “We need positivity,” Mr Brainwash said of the main theme driving his art. “Behind the bad, there is always something very good. We just have to be patient about it. Life is beautiful. That’s all it is.”
