In Banksy Thrower (2023), Mr. Brainwash pays homage to one of street art’s most defining images while adding his own spirited twist. The piece depicts the familiar figure mid-throw, not of a weapon but of flowers—symbolizing peace, rebellion, and the power of creation over destruction. Behind him, graffiti tags, bold signage, and vibrant color fields collide, including the word California and a red Basquiat-style crown—layered nods to culture, community, and art’s westward pulse.
Executed as a silkscreen and mixed media work on street sign, cement, wood, and brick panel, this artwork merges the tactile grit of the city with polished execution. Banksy Thrower becomes both tribute and transformation—a dialogue between two visionaries, celebrating the unstoppable spirit of street art.
