Legendry French street artist Mr Brainwash has jetted in from LA to unveil a brand new Bentley Bentayga which he has transformed into a monumental, one-of-a-kind work of art.
Featuring famous faces, Renaissance paintings, monkeys and graffiti tags and with the artist’s calling card ‘Life is Beautiful’ message in neon pink on its tailgate, the car has been described by H.R. Owen CEO Ken Choo as a “one-off masterpiece.”
The big reveal was the highlight of a spectacular private event hosted by Clarendon Fine Art and Bentley at the prestigious Jack Barclay showroom in Berkeley Square on 1st July, and represented the first ever collaboration between one of the world’s most inventive and audacious artists, and one of the world’s most prestigious and luxurious automotive brands.
Guests including HRH Princess Beatrice and F1 reporter Natalie Pinkham with her husband Owain Walbyoff were also treated to an exclusive exhibition of Mr Brainwash’s latest pieces, which the princess, a long-time admirer, praised as being “all about fun and joy.”
While the Bentayga was the centrepiece of the evening, Mr Brainwash had also created an exclusive limited edition piece for guests, a showstopping exhibition of new works, and a stunning new retrospective book. Despite such a busy few months though, his positivity and joie de vivre were very much in evidence, and his charismatic presence ensured that this was an unforgettable event.
