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 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.
