Opera Gallery, , 134 New Bond Street, London presents a solo exhibition of works by the
world-renowned Mr Brainwash between Otober 6 and October 31, 2011
Controversial artist Mr Brainwash is the moniker of Los
Angeles based film-maker and pop artist Thierry Guetta. He has spent most of
the last decade attempting to make the ultimate street art documentary. Meanwhile,
inspired by his subjects, he started hitting the streets, from LA 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.
In June 2008, Mr Brainwash debuted one of Los Angeles' most memorable
solo exhibitions entitled ‘Life is Beautiful', featuring
larger-than-life installations as well as his widely recognizable images. The
show was visited by thousands of visitors and extended from two weeks to three
consecutive months. By 2009 Mr Brainwash's work had garnered so much
recognition that he was approached by Madonna to design the cover for her
greatest hits album, Celebration. In 2011, he was commissioned by the
Red Hot Chili Peppers band to direct the campaign for the launch of their
latest album.
