Like Warhol, who re-invented high art in the 1960’s by putting a twist on classic American images, Mr. Brainwash puts his own unique stamp on the highly inspired piece by re-creating the Campbell’s soup can in order to resemble his own signature spray can.
Following in the legacy of his predecessor Warhol, Mr. Brainwash creates a true hybrid that all can be inspired by.
