About the artwork

A stenciled young boy with his back turned and gazing upwards, evokes a sense of innocent wonder, reminiscent of classic street art motifs by Banksy. This figure provides a stark contrast to the dynamic pose of a stenciled male figure on the right, who is depicted throwing a book. This recreation of Banksy’s 'The Absurdity of War,' subverting the original flowers with a book, adds a layer of intellectual rebellion and commentary on the power of knowledge versus violence. "With All My Love" is a testament to Mr. Brainwash’s ability to remix and recontextualize familiar imagery, creating a commentary on contemporary culture and the interplay between innocence, rebellion, and the pervasive power of visual communication.

About the artist

Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta) is a French-born, Los Angeles-based contemporary artist whose explosive entry into the art world redefined the boundaries of street and pop art. Bursting onto the scene in the early 2000s, Mr. Brainwash quickly garnered global attention for his dynamic and colorful mixed-media artworks that fuse street art, pop culture, and graffiti. His work is instantly recognizable—bold, ironic, and unapologetically optimistic. Propelled into international fame following his role in the Banksy-directed documentary 'Exit Through the Gift Shop', Mr. Brainwash turned a passion for documenting street artists into a thriving artistic career of his own.

His pieces celebrate iconic cultural figures—from Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin to Andy Warhol and Keith Haring—reimagining them through vibrant layers of paint, stenciling, and collage. His artworks have been exhibited at prominent institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and have been collected by celebrities and tastemakers worldwide. With a flair for spectacle and a message of positivity, Mr. Brainwash invites viewers to embrace creativity, challenge convention, and “follow their dreams.”
