Mr. Pinkbrush
Contemporary Cartoon Pop Art
Fabian Frohly, also known as Mr. Pinkbrush, is a Swiss-French contemporary artist whose work fuses the visual universe of cartoons with the craft of classical oil painting.
He has collaborated with Warner Bros. Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation Studios, officially releasing licensed artworks for DC Comics in 2024.
His paintings are collected by internationally renowned figures such as:
• Carlos Slim – Founder of Museo Soumaya, Mexico
• Pascal Mouawad – Entrepreneur and head of Mouawad.com (Jewelry & Watches)
• Susanne Grether – Owner of the most important private art collection of the 20th century
Artistic Statement
My work creates a visual bridge between collective childhood memory and contemporary identity. I explore new visual languages that are emotionally vivid, socially reflective, and aesthetically rooted in both the refined and the raw. Through my “SuperRaw Movement” – which embraces imperfection much like the philosophy of Kintsugi – I reveal the hidden beauty in what is fractured, unfinished, or emotionally vulnerable. The result is a hybrid visual language shaped by East–West imagery, cartoon nostalgia, and contemporary selfhood.
“Authenticity as a synonym for aesthetics – that is what I aim to express.”
(Artist statement, 2005)
His practice is shaped by Eastern and Western influences – from Disney, Looney Tunes, and DC Comics to Japanese arcade culture and traditional aesthetics like Kintsugi.
Background & Milestones
Originally trained in comics and graffiti, Fabian Frohly completed a Master of Fine Arts in Basel (City of the most important Art Fairs – ART BASEL), where he developed the foundation of his hybrid style.
His works have been shown at major international fairs including Art Miami and Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, and acquired by institutions such as Museum Ground in South Korea.
Collectors and curators often speak of the “soul” in his work – especially in the eyes of his characters.
• “Emotionally profound.” – Susanne Grether
• “An amazing artist blessed with great talent.” – Pascal Mouawad
“Cartoon art in motion,
welcome to the magic.”

Behind the Scenes with Mr. Pinkbrush: The Art Creation Process
Mr. Pinkbrush’s artwork is a dynamic fusion of expressive animation sketches, refined oil painting, and bold contemporary aesthetics. Influenced by pop culture, street art, and his lifelong discipline as a martial artist, his process balances raw energy and precision. Each piece begins with spontaneous, hand-drawn sketches that capture movement and emotion before evolving into vibrant, layered compositions.
His signature Super Raw style merges these elements with traditional Japanese artistic philosophies, particularly Kintsugi—the art of embracing imperfections with gold
and the elegant refinement of Rimpa. This fusion of chaos and control, imperfection
and mastery, defines his unique approach.
From Looney Tunes, Marvel superheroes, and DC Comics to iconic Asian pop culture characters from anime and manga, he reinterprets nostalgic figures through a bold, modern lens, bringing them to life on canvas with charcoal, acrylic, oil paint, and spray techniques. Collaborations with global brands like Warner Bros. and NAFTOS allow him to push artistic boundaries while maintaining his distinctive visual storytelling.
