Mr. Brainwash Happy Birthday Elvis! – Jailhouse Pop (Small) (Gold Splash), 2019
Screenprint in colors with diamond dust on archival paper with deckle edge
Literature: In 'Happy Birthday Elvis!,' Mr. Brainwash playfully manipulates an image taken of the Nashville crooner after he was drafted in 1958. Instead of bearing his name and army unit, the plaque hoisted by "The King" reads "ART IS NOT A CRIME." The mischievous text, combined with the mugshot-like composition, give this portrait a contemporary air--as if the iconic singer was a roughish bad boy rather than a serviceman.
Dimensions: 38.5 x 25 in (97.79 x 63.5 cm)
signature info: Signed and numbered on recto; dated, thumb-printed, and inscribed on verso
Edition: Edition of 5
