Could We Be Love
Summary
Could We Be Love (First Edition, 2024) is a 13-color screenprint on archival paper with deckled edges at 36 x 30 inches, issued in an edition of 79 plus an AP edition of 8. Signed and thumb-printed, it is a large-format love-themed work with dense, multi-layer color.
Why It Matters
At 36 x 30 inches and 13 colors, this is a substantial, richly built romance piece rather than a compact sentiment print. The edition of 79 plus 8 APs keeps it collectible, and the generous scale gives the love imagery real presence on the wall.
Collector Perspective
The larger 36 x 30 format positions this as a statement love work. With 79 plus 8 APs, supply is moderate. Confirm the thumbprint, signature, numbering, and COA. The 13-color build rewards close viewing of layered detail — a step above the artist's one-color love slogans.
Historical Context
Love and connection are central to Mr Brainwash's message-driven practice, and Could We Be Love renders that theme at ambitious scale. Dated 2024, it belongs to his romance-themed release stream of that year.

About the Artist
Mr. Brainwash is the pseudonym of Thierry Guetta, a French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist who rose to prominence through Banksy's 2010 documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop. Originally a videographer who filmed street artists including Shepard Fairey and Banksy, Guetta reinvented himself as an artist, staging his ambitious 2008 debut show "Life Is Beautiful" in Los Angeles. His work draws heavily on pop-art appropriation, remixing icons such as Warhol, Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, and spray-paint splatters. He has produced album art and large-scale exhibitions across the U.S. and Europe.
Collecting Mr Brainwash at Gauntlet Gallery
What Mr. Brainwash prints should I buy first?
Start with hand-finished screenprints and stencil works from his named exhibitions, where each impression is signed, numbered, and often uniquely embellished with spray-paint or stamps. Smaller editions and show-related pieces from "Life Is Beautiful" and later gallery runs are the most recognizable entry points. At Gauntlet Gallery we prioritize pieces with clean condition and complete signing.
How is authenticity documented?
Gauntlet Gallery sells Mr. Brainwash works with documented studio provenance and the artist's own signature, numbering, and thumbprint or stamp where present. We photograph the exact piece you receive, including signature and edition details, so what you verify is what ships.
What drives value?
Value is driven by edition size, whether the piece is hand-embellished versus a flat print, subject popularity, condition, and provenance tied to a documented exhibition. Signed, low-numbered, and uniquely finished impressions command the strongest premiums.
