Thierry Guetta, better known as Mr. Brainwash, has become a significant figure in contemporary art, blending street art with pop culture in ways that captivate both critics and collectors alike. Born on January 31, 1966, in France and based in Los Angeles, Guetta’s rise to fame was propelled by his appearance in the Banksy-directed documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, which explores the street art movement. The film helped introduce Guetta to a global audience and cemented his role in the art world, despite ongoing speculation about whether his work is part of an elaborate prank masterminded by Banksy.

Embracing both traditional pop art elements and street art’s rawness, Mr. Brainwash’s exhibitions and creative projects have resonated worldwide.

Beyond his creative pursuits, Mr. Brainwash is known for his philanthropy. He has donated artwork to support causes like the Los Angeles LGBT Center and Product RED, and he’s created murals to honor the victims of 9/11. His support of organizations like the Prince’s Trust and “Let Girls Learn” illustrates his commitment to social change. Notably, he also met privately with Pope Francis to support Scholas, the Pope’s foundation aimed at helping youth worldwide.
