Love Is In The Air - Miami
Summary
Love Is In The Air - Miami is a 2019 screenprint on paper measuring 30 x 22 inches, released in an edition of 50, signed and numbered. It adapts one of the most recognizable images in contemporary street art into a Miami-specific edition for Mr. Brainwash's audience.
Why It Matters
The 'Love Is In The Air' motif references the flower-throwing figure central to street art's peace-and-protest vocabulary, and Mr. Brainwash localizes it to Miami. The city-specific framing ties the universal message of love to a particular place and moment, a recurring device in his editions.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 50 makes this a relatively contained run, and the Miami tie can concentrate demand among collectors with a connection to the city or its art-fair culture. Confirm the pencil signature and numbering. The 30 x 22 vertical is a standard, frame-friendly MBW format.

Released in 2019, Love Is In The Air - Miami reflects Mr. Brainwash's engagement with Miami's high-profile art scene and his broader love-and-hope thematics. The place-branded treatment mirrors the localized editions he has produced for cities and events throughout his career.

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.
