Art Auction - Arms Around the Child, Timed
24 OCTOBER 2022 - 13 NOVEMBER 2022Notes
Mr Brainwash is the moniker of Los Angeles-based filmmaker and Pop artist Thierry Guetta. He has spent the better part of the last decade attempting to make the ultimate street art documentary. Meanwhile, inspired by his subjects, he started hitting the streets, from Los Angeles to Paris, with spray painted stencils and posters of his pop art inspired images.
He rapidly emerged as a renowned figure on the international street art scene. Considered as one of the most prolific and talked about artists of today, Mr Brainwash is also the subject of Banksy’s documentary “Exit Through The Gift Shop. Using Guetta’s street art footage, Banksy eventually turned the camera on the only man who ever filmed him. The collaboration resulted in a remarkable documentary that is part personal journey and part an exposé of the art world with its mind-altering mix of hot air and hype
