Description by the gallery owner

"Life is Beautiful" is a meta-painting. The picture-within-a-picture has always existed throughout the history of art. From Rembrandt to Velázquez, from Giovanni Pannini to Annibale Carracci. Even more recent artists such as De Chirico, Magritte, Matisse, and Gauguin have attempted meta-paintings.
The protagonist of Brainwash's work, dressed elegantly, is seen from behind, looking at a painting. The painting the man is viewing is full of writing, but one stands out above all: "Life is Beautiful." The background from which the main writing emerges is composed of iconic images and symbols from Pop Art and beyond. The references to Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Roy Lichtenstein are unmistakable. The work and the man observing it are created with the same shades of gray and black. The wall supporting the painting appears to reproduce old advertising billboards.
"Life is Beautiful" is a melancholy look back. A past that's increasingly faded, yet still manages to move us. Our memory allows us to be moved.
