Sid, Original
Mr Brainwash is a prominent street artist who was launched onto the art scene in 2010 off the back of the Banksy-directed documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop.
This piece is a prime example of the artist’s oeuvre, in which he appropriates imagery from popular culture and adds his own graffiti-style flourishes. Here, Mr Brainwash captures the punk spirit of doomed Sex Pistols guitarist, Sid Vicious.
This hand-finished original mixed media piece comes signed by the artist, and framed in a silver aluminium box frame with regular glass.
Framed size (cm): 80 x 60

Box framing is provided with all our online framing, creating a distance between the glass and your artwork, so no risk of ink transfer to the pane. it's the perfect, gallery grade choice for limited edition prints or original artworks.
Shadow float mounting is an option at our website, to give the appearance of an artwork floating within the frame. The mount – an archival foam core – creates depth too, by casting a shadow beneath the artwork. We highly recommend using a float mount when framing artwork with deckled (hand-torn) edges.

Glazing all our framing orders are shipped with glass. We take great care with packaging to protect your artwork.

About the artist
Mr. Brainwash is the alias of Thierry Guetta, a French videographer and graffiti artist who’s contemporary ‘graffiti-hybrid’ pieces have become some of the most recognisable and highly-valued art of our times.
Born in Paris, Guetta moved to Los Angeles at 15 years old where he organised events and sold vintage clothing. Then, after a trip back home in 1999, the trajectory of his life changed forever. After discovering his cousin was notorious street artist, Space Invader, Guetta quickly became an unofficial videographer, documenting the nocturnal adventures of a group of street artists, that included Shepard Fairey (OBEY), Zevs and eventually, Banksy.
After he helped Banksy launch his Los Angeles show, Barely Legal, in 2009, the pair went on to make Oscar-nominated, Exit Through the Giftshop. The documentary provided a glimpse into life in the highly-secretive graffiti scene, and mapped the birth and meteoric rise of Mr. Brainwash from near novice to attracting over 30,000 visitors to his first solo show, ‘Life is Beautiful’ and selling almost one million dollars’ worth of art.
Although there was speculation the documentary was a spoof, Brainwash has said: ‘This movie is 100% real. Banksy captured me becoming an artist. In the end, I became his biggest work of art.’
