MrBrainwash is the artistic pseudonym of French artist Thierry Guetta. He was born in Garges-lès-Gonesse, France, in 1966, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. He is known for his street style and his appropriation of pop culture and avant-garde art. He began his career as a documentary filmmaker, filming urban artists in action. In an unexpected turn of events, Guetta became an artist after meeting Banksy, who encouraged him to make art himself. Since then, he has created a wide range of works, from art installations to graffiti pieces. MrBrainwash's style is a blend of different influences, including pop art, urban art, and popular culture. He often uses iconic images of celebrities and popular culture figures in his works, blending them with elements of graffiti and street art culture. His pieces are typically colorful and bold, and often feature an ironic or satirical message. Mr. Brainwash has exhibited in galleries around the world, including the Opera Gallery in Paris, the Caja de Arte in Miami, and the Galería de Arte Contemporáneo in New York. In 2010, his work was featured in the Banksy-directed documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop," which explored street art culture and Mr. Brainwash's emergence as an artist. He has also collaborated with several brands, including Coca-Cola and Madonna. In terms of awards, Mr. Brainwash has been honored with the "Art Now" award by Angeleno Magazine and has been nominated for the "Webby" award for his art website. Despite some criticism that accuses him of being a "copycat" of other artists, Mr. Brainwash remains an influential artist in urban and street art culture, and his work remains in high demand worldwide.
