The artist, Thierry Guetta, created an intricate patchwork of iconic Cunard marketing posters from the 1920s, spray-painted with a finishing touch in his signature graffiti style.
In partnership with Clarendon Fine Art
The bespoke installation, 'Cunard x Mr. Brainwash,' was commissioned in partnership with Clarendon Fine Art, which has represented the leading street artist in the UK since 2020 and whose galleries appear across the Cunard fleet.
Three limited editions have also been created which will be available exclusively to passengers, for purchase, and feature each of the three Cunard Queens.
Arts-focused cruise
Yesterday's event marked the conclusion of Queen Elizabeth's arts-focused Pacific coastal sailing from Vancouver, BC to Los Angeles, which offered several Mr. Brainwash-inspired seminars and a screening of Banksy's Academy-nominated 'Exit Through the Gift shop' documentary featuring Mr. Brainwash.
The Los Angeles-based artist's work is held in collections around the globe, including in all 75 of Clarendon Fine Art's UK and US galleries as well as across the Cunard fleet. His 'Long Live the King' portrait of King Charles III, released to coincide with the coronation, was a record release.
His work also features in the private collections of Barack Obama, Al Pacino, Lionel Richie and Rihanna, and he has collarborated for charity with Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama.
