Original screen print in colors on hand-torn archival art paper - Hand-signed and thumb printed // Happy Birthday to Me (2019) by Mr. Brainwash is a vibrant screen print that juxtaposes the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe with modern, street-art elements. Monroe, rendered in grayscale, holds a boombox adorned with graffiti-like stickers, creating a playful clash between classic Hollywood glamor and contemporary pop culture. A striking red, heart-shaped balloon floats above her, providing a splash of color and injecting a sense of whimsy into the composition. The heart balloon adds a celebratory tone, while the inclusion of street art motifs, such as “Life is Beautiful” and “Just Smile,” reflects Mr. Brainwash’s signature style of blending optimism with nostalgia. This hand-signed and thumb-printed piece exemplifies the artist’s flair for reinterpreting cultural icons with a modern twist.

What is appropriation?
Artwork by Shepard Fairey

What is appropriation?

Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
