MBW: Life Is Beautiful
Friday, June 20th, 2008
If you’ve been in the Hollywood area, specifically around the now defunct CBS building on Sunset and Gower, you may have seen some new billboards up where the likes of Jim Hill and the rest of the channel 2 news team have been resting for years. Consisting of Warhol’s iconic Campbell Soup image but on a can of spray paint, an interwoven black and white Miles Davis, and Pacino’s Scarface holding a machine gun pointing down at the street, these are no ordinary billboards. These are strategically placed ads for France’s Mr. Brainwash and his first solo art show entitled Life is Beautiful. Mr. Brainwash’s pastings and stencil work have been seen on the streets of LA for a while now as he oftentimes gets up with the likes of Banksy and Shepard Fairey. Here’s more info on Brainwash and his show which already had it’s opening night on Wednesday but will be up through the rest of the weekend:
Exhibit hours and location:
June 19th-22nd
