Biography - Mr Brainwash (1966):
For over a decade, Thierry Guetta, under his pseudonym Mr Brainwash, has been pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. The orchestrated clash between street art and pop art has been his balancing act. The turning point for Mr Brainwash was his revolutionary images in the widely acclaimed documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop. This Oscar-nominated film
demonstrates the evolution of the street art movement with Mr. Brainwash, who, alongside Banksy, introduces art to the general public. Navigating between the worlds of cinema, celebrity culture, music, and sports, Mr. Brainwash has cemented his legacy in the art world.
From his emergence, Mr. Brainwash has shaken the art world with his innovative and daring style. He uses elements from the past of pop art and the raw components of his beginnings in street art to create exhibitions and collaborations larger than life. The imaginative construction of gallery exhibitions and art shows by Mr. Brainwash around the world continues to attract the attention of critics and celebrities.
Mr. Brainwash has designed album covers for Madonna, Rick Ross, and KYGO. His works have been featured in films and television productions such as Molly’s Game, Billions, Shameless, and The Kardashians. Mr. Brainwash's talents are highlighted through creative partnerships with leading brands like Hublot, Coca-Cola, and Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee. He has also collaborated with world-renowned footballer Pelé, who joined the artist to splash paint on certain artworks.
Mr. Brainwash's passion extends to his commitment to giving back to the community. He continues to donate artworks to support the Los Angeles LGBT Center, created commemorative September 11 murals to honor the victims, and partnered with Product RED to raise awareness about AIDS. Mr. Brainwash also provides annual support to organizations such as the Prince's Trust for the benefit of vulnerable youth. He met with former First Lady Michelle Obama to support her organization, "Let Girls Learn," which helps adolescent girls attend school and complete their studies.
He also had the honor of meeting privately with Pope Francis in Rome to raise funds for Scholas, the Pope's personal foundation serving the youth of the world.
On December 18, 2022, Thierry Guetta inaugurated the Mr. Brainwash Art Museum, with the current exhibition Enter Through the Museum, a nod to Exit Through the Gift Shop, and the world's first contemporary art museum created and directed by a living artist. As an indefatigable creator and catalyst-analyst of pop culture, Mr. Brainwash sees the museum as an artistic playground for all ages, a new platform to express uplifting messages bringing hope, positivity, and beauty to the Beverly Hills community, Angelenos, and visitors from around the world.
