Cover Girl by Mr Brainwash has become one of the works most identifiable with the artist’s oeuvre. The choice to print this particular image on newprint resonates with the image itself. Mr Brainwash brings the influence that the print medium has had on Kate Moss’s career to life in the Cover Girl edition. Newspapers have both celebrated and ridiculed Kate Moss, yet she continues to adorn the covers of newspapers and magazines. The ephemeral nature of newsprint is embodied within Cover Girl as its illustrates just how quickly today’s big story becomes yesterday’s news. In the case of Kate Moss, scandals from one week become shadowed by the model’s newest fashion campaign. Cyclically new rises and falls, Kate Moss as Mr Brainwash’s focus in Cover Girl speaks to this idea of news and the print medium as being temporary. In the case of Moss she continues to be a “cover girl” not making one-off appearances on the front of magazines and newspapers but rather consistently being featured on their covers, despite any negative or positive news. In Cover Girl, Mr Brainwash recognizes the power of the model’s celebrity and her ability to weather any media storm and maintain her position as a “cover girl”.
It is always nice to see a work framed up by a collector, the below images are a terrific example of Cover Girl by Mr Brainwash framed.
