Spray paint and stencil on cream colored archival paper // Big Ben by Mr. Brainwash, created in 2009, is a mixed media print that humorously reimagines Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, as a contemporary figure. The artwork, produced as part of a limited edition of 100, portrays Franklin wearing modern headphones, rendered in a black-and-white stencil style. The word LONDON is spray-painted in bold red at the bottom of the print, adding a layer of irony and urban edge. The juxtaposition of historical imagery with contemporary street art elements, such as the graffiti-style text, exemplifies Mr. Brainwash’s playful approach to pop culture and historical figures. By merging classic portraiture with modern street aesthetics, Big Ben invites viewers to consider the fusion of past and present in a lighthearted, thought-provoking manner.

What is Kitsch?
Artwork by William Sweetlove

What is Kitsch?

Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
