About the Artist

Mr. Brainwash is a French-born, LA-based street artist street artist and videographer known for his large-scale installations and prints of celebrities like Madonna, Kate Moss, and Marilyn Monroe. His practice of subverting cultural iconography and appropriation borrows from Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Bansky. He is perhaps best known for his role in Banksy’s documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010), which features Mr. Brainwash’s rise to success in the street art scene. “Banksy captured me becoming an artist,” Mr. Brainwash has said. “In the end, I became his biggest work of art.” Mr Brainwash has collaborated with major brands including Coca-Cola, Nike and Mercedes-Benz. He has even designed album artwork for pop icon Madonna and US rapper Rick Ross. His commemorative 9/11 mural even decorates a Century 21 wall facing the Freedom Tower in New York, and Century 21 co-owner Isaac Gindi claims that Mr. Brainwash is set to be “the Mozart of our century.”
