About this work
Mr. Brainwash, the pseudonym of French-born, Los Angeles-based artist Thierry Guetta, has established himself as one of the most commercially successful and culturally provocative figures to emerge from the contemporary street art movement. Gaining international recognition following his appearance in Banksy's Academy Award-nominated documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, Mr. Brainwash has cultivated a practice that boldly appropriates and reimagines imagery from popular culture, art history, and mass media. His work commands a devoted collector base and continues to perform strongly across primary and secondary markets worldwide. Glitch (Pink) exemplifies the artist's signature approach to visual disruption and cultural commentary. The composition features the repeated portrait of a female subject rendered in vibrant pink tones, deliberately fragmented by horizontal bands that evoke the aesthetic of digital interference and technological malfunction. This intentional corruption of the image speaks to contemporary anxieties surrounding media saturation, the instability of digital information, and the fractured nature of identity in an increasingly screen-mediated world. The silkscreen technique pays direct homage to the legacy of Andy Warhol while simultaneously subverting expectations through its glitched execution, creating a tension between polish and decay, familiarity and distortion. This work is numbered 19/50 from a limited edition of fifty impressions, ensuring both collectibility and relative scarcity within the artist's extensive print portfolio. Guy Hepner is pleased to offer this significant example of Mr. Brainwash's practice. For acquisition inquiries, pricing, and additional availability of works by this artist, collectors are encouraged to contact the gallery directly.

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.
