Important Contemporary Artworks by Mr. Brainwash and Peter Max Highlight Robinhood Auctions’ Upcoming Sale

Mr. Brainwash (a pseudonym for Thierry Guetta) is a French artist based in Los Angeles. His style is a blend of street and Pop art. Many critics believe Brainwash was influenced by British graffiti artist Banksy. He is also known to take inspiration from Pop artists such as Andy Warhol. Brainwash often uses a vivid color palette and dense brushwork to portray past and contemporary icons. The upcoming Robinhood Auctions event will feature one such original mixed media on deckled edge paper piece by Mr. Brainwash, titled Cover Girl. Depicting British model Kate Moss, the illustration emulates a still image from one of her famous photo sessions. Another striking artwork by Mr. Brainwash is a mixed media original on wood panel, titled Banksy Thrower. Using spray cans and stencil graffiti, the work is clearly dedicated to the artist’s idol, Banksy. 

An acrylic on canvas painting by Peter Max also leads the listings. The American artist of German-Jewish origin was initially a Pop art adherent in the 1960s but later evolved into Neo-Expressionism. His works are noted for their bright hues and subtle whimsy.
