A one-colour screenprint on hand-torn archival art paper, hand-finished by the artist. Each print is signed by Pele and the artist, numbered and thumb printed on the back by the artist.
Mr. Brainwash met with soccer superstar Pelé, in Rio de Janeiro during the recent Summer Olympic Games. Mr. Brainwash created a series of art for their meeting. Pelé, who is considered by many to be the best soccer player of all time, participated in this project to celebrate the Olympics in his home country.
Pelé took the time to sign each work. To take it even further, he stamped his thumbprint on some of the works, an even more personal signature from the hand of a sports legend. He also joined Mr. Brainwash in splattering paint on select artworks, creating the playful collaboration between athletics and art.
