About this work
Mr. Brainwash, born Thierry Guetta, has become one of the most commercially successful and culturally provocative figures to emerge from the contemporary street art movement. His trajectory from documentary filmmaker to internationally recognized artist, catalyzed by his association with Banksy and subsequent feature in the Academy Award-nominated film Exit Through the Gift Shop, has positioned him as a singular presence in the art market. His works command significant attention at auction and continue to attract collectors drawn to the intersection of pop culture, street art aesthetics, and accessible visual language. B-Line presents a bold graphic composition that exemplifies the artist's signature approach to appropriation and remix culture. The work features striking visual contrasts and layered imagery characteristic of Mr. Brainwash's practice, which draws heavily from the legacy of Andy Warhol and the urban interventions of his street art contemporaries. The piece demonstrates his facility for combining recognizable symbols with gestural mark-making, creating works that feel simultaneously familiar and subversive. At 22 1/2 by 30 inches, the composition operates at an intimate scale that invites close viewing while retaining the graphic impact associated with larger street-based works. This example, numbered 50 from an edition of 125, represents a considered entry point into the artist's oeuvre. Limited edition works from Mr. Brainwash continue to perform strongly on the secondary market, reflecting sustained collector interest in his distinctive visual vocabulary. Guy Hepner welcomes inquiries from collectors seeking to acquire this work or to discuss other available pieces by Mr. Brainwash.

About Mr. Brainwash
Mr. Brainwash is the alias of Thierry Guetta, a French-American contemporary artist born in 1966 in Garges-lès-Gonesse, France. He moved to Los Angeles at 15. There, an obsession with filming led him into the world of street art, where he documented artists including his cousin Invader, Shepard Fairey and Banksy.
Encouraged by Banksy to make his own work, Guetta adopted the name Mr. Brainwash. His debut exhibition, Life Is Beautiful (2008), was staged in a converted Los Angeles TV studio and became a landmark event. He gained international recognition after appearing in Banksy's Oscar-nominated 2010 documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop.
His work blends street art, Pop Art and celebrity culture through bold stencils, spray-paint drips and bright color. He remixes icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Albert Einstein alongside uplifting slogans like Life Is Beautiful and Follow Your Heart. He has designed album covers for Madonna and Rick Ross. In 2022 he opened the Mr. Brainwash Art Museum in Beverly Hills.
Today his paintings, sculptures and limited edition prints are collected worldwide.
