Opera Gallery presents the UK premier of new works by Mr Brainwash in an exhibition curated by Jean-David MALAT, Director of Opera Gallery London.
Polemical artist Mr Brainwash is the moniker of LosAngeles based film-maker and pop artist Thierry Guetta. He has spent the better part 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.
And in 2011, he was commissioned by the Red Hot Chili Peppers band to direct the campaign for the launch of their latest album.
