Star Trek Inspired Screen Print “Generations” by Mr. Brainwash

If you’ve been following the raging Mr. Brainwash debate online, then you know the art world doesn’t quite know what to make of this enigmatic French artist. Whether you love or hate MBW, you can’t deny he’s provocative. While The Blot doesn’t love everything he does, I can appreciate his passion for pop culture, and nothing personifies that better than his Star Trek inspired screen print “Generations.”

Star Trek Inspired Screen Print Generations by Mr. Brainwash
“Generations" features the crew of the Starship Enterprise (Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu and Uhura), a member of the Gorn species (a race of humanoid reptiles) and some other random people in a retro, old school looking photo. Mr. Brainwash did a similar print with Star Wars characters, and while they’re not everyone’s cup of tea I really like them!

“Generations” is a 22”x30” seven color screen print on archival art paper. The print includes gold and silver metallic inks, comes signed and numbered by the artist, and also includes his thumb print on the back. This Star Trek themed screen print goes on sale Tuesday, April 13th, at 12pm PST at the Mr. Brainwash online store. MBW is only creating 75 of these retro styled prints, and even at $300 a pop they will almost assuredly sell out in a matter of moments.
