Mr. Brainwash

Thierry Guetta known as Mr Brainwash is a French street and pop artists. He also is the moniker of Los Angeles based filmmaker. Mr Brainwash became famous through his association with famous street artists Banksy and Shepard Fairey, which was chronicled in the 2010 documentary ‘Exit through the Gift Shop’.

I think Mr Braiwash work is about making people smile and happy, because this is what it’s all about. A lot of people criticize his work, but by showing his work he wants to say that if you work hard enough and follow your heart then nothing is impossible.

 My favourite piece from the exhibition is called ‘Life is beautiful’, because it is really colourful, in the background you can see different characters and pieces of Mr Brainwashes work and its really positive be the words ‘Life is beautiful’ and the sign ‘Love is the answer’ holding by Albert Einstein.

I really enjoyed Mr Brainwashes exhibition and I do like his work, because he is inventing something new and unique. Some of the work really made me laugh like Barrack Obama in a Superman costume or Mona Lisa with a machine gun, because as they are serious and important characters, he tried to make it funny. By this I think he wants to tell people that you just can’t take everything seriously. However I saw a painting with a monkey holding a spray can writing ‘Follow your dreams’ and this is exactly why I like his work. This is the first artists I saw making this really clear message to his audience.
