About Mr. Brainwash
Probably no other street artist has experienced such a rapid rise within such a brief time as the French-born Thierry Guetta, known under the pseudonym Mr. Brainwash.
His path of becoming the most successful artist of recent years is intricately linked to Banksy and his Oscar-winning film "Exit Through the Gift Shop". In the film, Thierry Guetta meets the street art star Banksy while working on a documentary about the graffiti scene, who inspires him to become active as an artist using the pseudonym Mr. Brainwash. Therefore, the rumour persists that the Frenchman Brainwash is just a fictitious person invented by Banksy. And that actually Bansky creates the works himself.
In fact, Mr. Brainwash repeatedly refers to well-known motifs in his works, not only by Banksy. He plays with all the available references of Pop Art, commercial advertising, and Street Art. He repeatedly includes well-known pictures and people from pop culture in his motifs. Madonna even commissioned Mr. Brainwash to design the cover for her album "Celebration", which was strongly inspired by Andy Warhol.
His first exhibition, "Life is Beautiful", in 2008 in the disused CBS Studios in Los Angeles was an enormous success. More than 100 works and various live performances attracted art lovers and Hollywood stars en masse, generating more than $1 million in sales within the first week alone. Since then, Mr. Brainwash has been one of the busiest artists of his time. Constant new shows and projects in New York, Los Angeles, and Europe have ensured that Mr. Brainwash has become a shooting star in his own right.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic production techniques.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a genre of modern art that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions, and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, for the first time, a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
