Mr. Brainwash
Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta) is the French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist made internationally famous by Banksy's 2010 Academy Award-nominated film "Exit Through the Gift Shop." His instantly recognizable mash-ups of pop icons, vintage advertising imagery, and graffiti-derived markings have made him one of the most discussed and most collected contemporary street artists alive.
Mr. Brainwash has produced album covers for major artists, official imagery for the Michael Jackson estate, and high-profile commissions for clients including Coca-Cola, the Grammys, and Pepsi. His exhibitions have drawn record-breaking attendance and his secondary-market values have appreciated dramatically since his rise.

About the Artist
Mr. Brainwash (born Thierry Guetta, 1966, France) is one of the most internationally recognized street artists working today. A French-born filmmaker turned artist based in Los Angeles, he rose to global attention through Banksy's Academy Award-nominated 2010 documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, which chronicled his unlikely transformation from amateur videographer to pop-art phenomenon.
His instantly recognizable visual language layers stencil, spray paint, hand-painted typography, and screenprint over pop-culture iconography — Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mouse, Charlie Chaplin, Einstein — set against vintage advertising, comic-book panels, and torn poster collage. The work is loud, optimistic, and built around his signature phrase “Life is Beautiful.”
His exhibitions have drawn record-breaking attendance worldwide. Mr. Brainwash has produced album covers for Madonna and Rick Ross, official imagery for the Michael Jackson Estate, and high-profile commissions for the Grammys, the Brit Awards, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi. His originals and limited editions are held in major private collections, and the secondary-market values of his work have appreciated dramatically since 2010.
