Mr Brainwash - Playing Cowboy
Artist: Mr Brainwash
Artwork: Playing Cowboy
Year: 2020
Medium: Original screenprint on paper
Edition: Limited edition of 85
Artwork Size: 81.3 × 109.2 cm
Framing: Framed
Playing Cowboy brings Mr Brainwash’s distinctive street-art energy to an image rooted in childhood, nostalgia and popular culture.
The work plays with the instantly recognisable imagery of the American cowboy, filtering it through Mr Brainwash’s contemporary visual language. By combining familiar cultural references with the bold, graphic qualities of screenprint, the artist transforms an image associated with play and imagination into a characteristically energetic contemporary work.
As with much of Mr Brainwash’s practice, Playing Cowboy draws upon collective memories and recognisable imagery, reworking them with the irreverence and optimism that run throughout his work. The result sits between nostalgia and contemporary street art, inviting the viewer to reconnect with the freedom and imagination of childhood.
Created in 2020 and released as a limited edition of 85, Playing Cowboy is an original screenprint on paper and is presented framed.
