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 widely recognized figures to emerge from the contemporary street art movement. His trajectory from documentary filmmaker to internationally exhibited artist, famously chronicled in Banksy's Academy Award-nominated film Exit Through the Gift Shop, has positioned him as a polarizing yet undeniably influential presence in the art market. His works command strong prices at auction and in the primary market, with collectors drawn to his bold aesthetic and his ability to bridge underground culture with mainstream appeal. Heart & Soul exemplifies the artist's signature approach to image-making, layering cultural references and graphic elements with expressive gestural marks. The composition demonstrates his characteristic fusion of pop art sensibilities with street art spontaneity, creating a visual language that speaks to both art historical traditions and contemporary visual culture. The work showcases his facility with color and his instinct for striking compositional balance, qualities that have made his output instantly recognizable to collectors worldwide. This work is numbered 50 of 85, placing it within a carefully controlled edition that ensures both accessibility and collectibility. The modest edition size reflects the artist's understanding of market dynamics while offering collectors the opportunity to acquire a work of genuine presence and visual impact. Guy Hepner is pleased to offer this significant example of Mr. Brainwash's practice. For acquisition inquiries, private viewing arrangements, or additional information regarding this work, please 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.
