I just finished watching "exit through;.." and really what I can say is 1/ the mystery surrounding this guy and/or banksy is what's intriguing and keeps ppl interested. He's either a genuine "made" artist like in the movie or he's a product of banksy or he's banksy or someone else. 2/ his art sells! no matter if he's biting, copying, stealing, or just making crap, or if he sounds like a French douche, the fact is ppl buy his art so don't hate on him, hate the game!
Too many negative comments....he is passionate about ART.Thats all thats matters.Who cares if the ART he does is shitty.every ARTIST on the face of the earth has a person who thinks they create bull crap ART.Thats also a beautiful thing.
MBW is Banksy and Shepard's inside joke. They just trolled all of us, like cmon! This guys art catalog is mostly meaningless splatter paint and ripping off the styles of Banksy and Shepard! Its crazy to me that some people really believe his art has some sort of deeper meaning to it, when in reality its just generic street art. He's Banksy's prime example of how the masses can buy into bullshit because of the hype that revolves around it.
Just wondering how many people commenting below and supporting Thierry have watched and actually understood "Exit Through the Gift Shop"... The guy is just an opportunist; there is no real message and meaning to his art!
Not only that, but he doesn't even do his own art. He hires graphic designers to produce those images. All he really does is slap paint on stuff as his "final touch." He's just a ripoff of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Warhol, and countless other things he has seen.
its BANKSYs latest masterpiece!! this is great it was BANKSY showing how any idiot can become something from nothing" all with a little help of the media!
I am me.. studied art at the university, traveled to most of Europe and seen the some of the greatest art pieces ever.. from street art to master pieces from the greats. I know a little about art.. just a little.. you??
Feeling, emotion? Kid, are you a sad person. He's art has energy, it's powerful. No one has ever done what this person has done. Not even, Hex, Slick or Banksy. Kid, go play marbles.
O Que His ideas are what we think of doing when we are mad, except he has paint. If I could destroy shit and painting a quote that's been around since 14 AD and add some shapes correlating with the quote, I'd be rich as well, because art is "subjective". :) Go into your bathroom and look at the subjective sink and shower head; it's art, and now you have an exhibit to invite people to.
Thank you, Mr. Kutcher for your productions that obviously set the limit behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, etc.
I feel like a lot of those people going in have a preconceived idea of what modern art is like from King of the hill "a bathtub full of old bike parts and urine" and they look at his work and see exactly what they were expecting so they go home happy. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, but half the people going in didn't even know who he was, and the rest that did seemed to have known him from the movie. It's kind of hard to put what I'm trying to say into words, but basically I feel like he is very passionate, just not about his art, I feel like he's a performer, he shows the people what they want and expect to see.
I like this guy. I mean if you actually thing about it it's very interesting. The name itself - brainwash, that's what he's doing it's just nonsense, no limits, doing things just because you feel like it. His stuff is brainwashing, a lot of things are and that's the idea, when you look at the work he's done it's obvious, but things like TV shows, certain political figures - it's hard to tell that they are just controlling what you think. Thierry (MBW) is kinda training you to recognize that kind of stuff. And why are people so hateful ? He's like a kid who doesn't really think about it too much and does whatever he wants except the kid grew up and now he continues that kind of work process and gets that he can make a good amount of money of it. And now don't lie, you know you'd would like that, just go crazy and be completely carefree, so here is a man that is doing it for all of us, Mr. Brainwash. And sure, the fame, feeling of success and power got a bit too much to him, but it's still interesting to see what he's up to. So yeah, I like him, his life is very interesting to me.
Most people criticize Mr. Brainwash because they envy their lifestyle. He is essentially a free man, something that is very difficult to achieve for those who are mediocre.
EXACTLY! He put on an art gallery and had people paint and install the art for him! It was evident that Banksy was kind of making fun of him in the film, but Mr Brainwash doesn't get it..
I believe it's pronounced "MEEEEEESTER" Brain Wash. He is a synechdoche of the marketing/advertising/cult of celebrity society that we inhabit. He is the vapidity of all that bullshit condensed into a blissfully unaware force of nature with an excellent french accent.
lots of comments from people who have no clue about art…If you knew what art was you would understand Brainwash. Doesn't mean you have to like him... I'm proud of him simply for trolling you all
Hes not a street artist however he is an artist of the mind his art is simply bullshit but he made people believe that it was something more he is mr brainwash and he did just that and is now living the high life.
That's not at all a good excuse for ripping off other people's art, tainting the street art and graffiti genre and being a pretentious douchebag. As Benn Leyland said a lot of people get off their ass to pursue dreams or become something. That's not an excuse.
Hate to sound like I'm defending him. But at the end of Exit through the gift shop (yes I know this doesn't make me an expert on the subject) What Banksy and Shepherd Fairey say about Thierry is he is cashing in on the trade and making money, There is almost something weird and poetic, that he rigged the game, broke the rules and is living the high life cause some suckers brought into it. Though he is completely unaware of this and thinks he is great, its like a joke that he himself isn't in on
It's funny that he calls himself Mr. Brainwash while he's actually using brainwash technique to sell all those pieces. Banksy can't complain anyway. He created this Mr. Brainwash himself. ^ ^
Everyone that says he's not an artist and that only suckers buy his work; well, it kind of makes those people suckers themselves. You have an "artist" that was born from a film made by Banksy. And yet, you expect to take the guy seriously from the get go?
who makes the rules for street art/graffiti ? nobody theres no rules saying you can copy ? as the quote says "good artist imitate great artists steal" its true
I wanna ask something to you guys who doesn't like MBW. i was someone who didnt like MBW but NOT NOW.i saw 5~6 times Exit through gift shop, and it seems like thierry made big wave now, graffiti was on opposite site of art by its publicity(or vandalism to publicity) and street art used that tactic of graffiti so that destroyed major art world as somewhat more public, and MBW made that as a pop-art in MAJOR art world, the gallary. that is really joke. i mean he mad ART as NOTHING in GALLARY
I wonder why the portrait of steve jobs is obscured in the room with all the computers..but anyway very soft line between genius an crazy but, hey I love your work!
this guy is a character. and at 4:25, i think its telling us "time will tell mr brainwash is a joke". Its obvious i personnaly think mr brainwash IS banksy.
Theres got to be a ton of artists out there struggling to get some great ideas exposed. People with real talent/creativity that have a short budget or no support at all. Then we have this clown claiming he is Andy Warhol's reincarnation. All I really admire from this, is the hard work his employees do.
OMG you take my words out of my mouth!! this is exactly what i think about mr brainwash, don´t consider it an artist and very less don´t like his "art" but i respect him because he is doing what he wants!, his way of think is do what you want and fuck the rest! and for me that´s cool hahahaha
ART IS ART NO MATTER HOW IT LOOKS OR HOW ITS MADE.........people like art thats why they like him?i guess.......THE ONLY REASON HE IS WERE HE IS AT NOW IS BECAUSE OF Banksy AND Obey
its amazing to me that prople still don't understand that this dude is a practical joke. his name is Mr BRAINWASH ffs. stop hating and recognize trolling at its finest
people complain about him?? come on guys... the worst people in the art market are the AUCTION HOUSES... wake up and embrace people with passion like MBW .... Life is beautiful...( if you allow it to be) :) :)
I respect the "Exit Through The Gift Shop" documentary but In my book MBW embodies that stereotypical art gallery artist. Break something, splash paint, smash this and that because its "art". We have all seen movies with art gallery scenes and know what I am talking about. Kinda snobby no? All in all those of us that have love for our craft and street art do it because we have a passion and enjoy getting up in our cities.
The Mark Kostabi of 2010.. And like Kostabi his sheen will fade and he will dry up like dog shit and blow away. There is money to be made until there isn't, and that is when he will go away. There is no lasting talent there.
so i think he made Great job. he made somewhat meaning like 'art was fraud, actually nothing which makes money with brought meanings from watchers.' and that means the communications and economic, sociological enviroment in art world made art, not pieces made. of course he didnt mean to somewhat like this but he also realized somewhat he made just something and he could put some pricetag, and collecters was Happy!. this is great joke!
actually he does know, he either doesn't care or doesn't understand… but he was with all those artists for years and years, and even though he seems to be an idiot, there is a bit of depth in some of the things he says…
hahaha, i don't know what he is thinking, but i know that he KNOWS because he was with them (baksy, shepard, etc) and saw what they were doing, filming and just watching, listening to them talk. I don't know if he understood, but the information is in his brain, therefore he knows.
I want to be a hipster to and hate on him like every one else, He is making easy money doing nothing at all Boo whoo T_T, got to give the guy some credit he some how placed a market revolving around his skill's regardless if people think is good or how bad he is, what's that say about you...
i actually think Mr. Brainwash is just about Banksy and Fairey's most powerful work of art.. thats how i see it... its all a fucking joke.. this whole grandeur and pretending to be an artist doing jack all creatively and jet being recognised and accepted and making money and appreciated is really just a critique of many other artists wether he does it on purpose or completely deluded of reality.
stop saying bullshits ...he does everything for popularity and fame....banksy ,kidult and other artists than dont reveal their identity,MAKE ART and try to make us see the truth and wake up...on the contrary,his work is just a by product....
Banksy is bristolian. So not him, i don't rate this guy at all. Don't get if he's trying to make out he's banksy or what but its weak as fuck either way
This guy is a big joke, but his passion and love for people is real... He's a real genuine guy with shity art!
I just finished watching "exit through;.." and really what I can say is
1/ the mystery surrounding this guy and/or banksy is what's intriguing and keeps ppl interested. He's either a genuine "made" artist like in the movie or he's a product of banksy or he's banksy or someone else.

its BANKSYs latest masterpiece!! this is great
it was BANKSY showing how any idiot can become something from nothing" all with a little help of the media!
This guy is a hack... and all these people don't know what the hell art is. Many of his most popular pieces are rip offs of Banksy and Harpers Fiery.
But then again in art there is no rules.
If you want to call that art..
Robert Herrera Well who are you to tell someone what is art and what isn't.
I am me.. studied art at the university, traveled to most of Europe and seen the some of the greatest art pieces ever.. from street art to master pieces from the greats.
I know a little about art.. just a little..
you??
Robert Herrera You studied Banksy, in a university? LOL
I love all the Ritual videos. I love Thrash Lab in general. Keep up the good work guys.
I am confused is this a joke or is he serious his art has no feeling no emotion nothing it just there for the money and the fame
Feeling, emotion? Kid, are you a sad person. He's art has energy, it's powerful. No one has ever done what this person has done. Not even, Hex, Slick or Banksy. Kid, go play marbles.
lol marbles just my opinion on the guy i personally like him hes done what he had to do to make money but its just a shock to the art business
O Que His ideas are what we think of doing when we are mad, except he has paint. If I could destroy shit and painting a quote that's been around since 14 AD and add some shapes correlating with the quote, I'd be rich as well, because art is "subjective". :) Go into your bathroom and look at the subjective sink and shower head; it's art, and now you have an exhibit to invite people to.
This guy is insanely awesome! Fantastic as always from Thrash Lab, this was amazing!
Thank you, Mr. Kutcher for your productions that obviously set the limit behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, behind the limit, etc.
This guy is awesome. Creative every second of his life, without fear.
so if Banksy is Dr. Frankenstein then the monster is...
You put it perfectly.
wait...did you catch my "rage" on camera? what filters did you use?
I feel like a lot of those people going in have a preconceived idea of what modern art is like from King of the hill "a bathtub full of old bike parts and urine" and they look at his work and see exactly what they were expecting so they go home happy. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, but half the people going in didn't even know who he was, and the rest that did seemed to have known him from the movie. It's kind of hard to put what I'm trying to say into words, but basically I feel like he is very passionate, just not about his art, I feel like he's a performer, he shows the people what they want and expect to see.

Mariio Esc. well, no, I don't think he sees it as ''garbage''. and fuck you for calling me retarded : D
+Marta Skābarde have you seen the movie "exit through the gift shop"
WindyC1tyK1llers
yeah
+Marta Skābarde i doubt you have watched exit through the gift shop
deni oktora
of course i have, most likely i wouldn't know who he is if i hadn't, da a
Most people criticize Mr. Brainwash because they envy their lifestyle. He is essentially a free man, something that is very difficult to achieve for those who are mediocre.
he is really an artist, quick and speed, he feel boring if he cannot finish project in a split seconds.
EXACTLY! He put on an art gallery and had people paint and install the art for him! It was evident that Banksy was kind of making fun of him in the film, but Mr Brainwash doesn't get it..
I believe it's pronounced "MEEEEEESTER" Brain Wash.
He is a synechdoche of the marketing/advertising/cult of celebrity society that we inhabit. He is the vapidity of all that bullshit condensed into a blissfully unaware force of nature with an excellent french accent.
LONG LIVE BRAINWASH FOR BETTER OR WORSE HAHAHAHAHAHH
lots of comments from people who have no clue about art…If you knew what art was you would understand Brainwash. Doesn't mean you have to like him... I'm proud of him simply for trolling you all
You do know he doesn't even make his own art right? LOL he pays people to make it for him....
He's not an artist, but he sure did live up to his nickname.
i dont care anyone says. he's got heart.......
love this guy
Hes not a street artist however he is an artist of the mind his art is simply bullshit but he made people believe that it was something more he is mr brainwash and he did just that and is now living the high life.
Whatever your opinion is on Thierry... he got off his arse to do something.
So do a lot of people. Everyone's pissed bc he's a talentless hack that got as lucky as he could possibly wish
That's not at all a good excuse for ripping off other people's art, tainting the street art and graffiti genre and being a pretentious douchebag.
As Benn Leyland said a lot of people get off their ass to pursue dreams or become something. That's not an excuse.
he has a team to create "his" work
the pro's and contra's of Banksy influence
Hate to sound like I'm defending him. But at the end of Exit through the gift shop (yes I know this doesn't make me an expert on the subject) What Banksy and Shepherd Fairey say about Thierry is he is cashing in on the trade and making money, There is almost something weird and poetic, that he rigged the game, broke the rules and is living the high life cause some suckers brought into it. Though he is completely unaware of this and thinks he is great, its like a joke that he himself isn't in on
I'm pretty sure that exit through the gift shop was just a fictional movie
I pooped in a paper bag and then glued wings on it. It's called "Fast Food".
Shit...anyone can be an artist these days.
Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan. He must be referring to a bag full of people from Dushanbe, i.e. "Dushbag"
It's funny that he calls himself Mr. Brainwash while he's actually using brainwash technique to sell all those pieces. Banksy can't complain anyway. He created this Mr. Brainwash himself. ^ ^
很好
Film making is Art.
tank...u...mr....banksy
Everyone that says he's not an artist and that only suckers buy his work; well, it kind of makes those people suckers themselves. You have an "artist" that was born from a film made by Banksy. And yet, you expect to take the guy seriously from the get go?

Behind what again?
I wanna ask something to you guys who doesn't like MBW. i was someone who didnt like MBW but NOT NOW.i saw 5~6 times Exit through gift shop, and it seems like thierry made big wave now, graffiti was on opposite site of art by its publicity(or vandalism to publicity) and street art used that tactic of graffiti so that destroyed major art world as somewhat more public, and MBW made that as a pop-art in MAJOR art world, the gallary. that is really joke. i mean he mad ART as NOTHING in GALLARY

He is Banksy.
He is a free bird with his camera . As he said
i dont think he even existed pre-2009
this guy is a character.
and at 4:25, i think its telling us "time will tell mr brainwash is a joke". Its obvious
i personnaly think mr brainwash IS banksy.
how is this guy not just Futura!??
In French, his name is M. Brainwash.
I think you need to watch exit through the gift shop
Theres got to be a ton of artists out there struggling to get some great ideas exposed. People with real talent/creativity that have a short budget or no support at all.
Then we have this clown claiming he is Andy Warhol's reincarnation. All I really admire from this, is the hard work his employees do.

He ruins what graffiti is known for
when you think of art and graffiti think of Futura 2000
ART IS ART NO MATTER HOW IT LOOKS OR HOW ITS MADE.........people like art thats why they like him?i guess.......THE ONLY REASON HE IS WERE HE IS AT NOW IS BECAUSE OF Banksy AND Obey
He's kind of like a modern day Walter Keane in the way he rips off other people's art and doesn't even make the art the rips off.
Now I'm just angry...
So if i get a hundred dollar bill and have different colors and draw a mustache im a artist?? What has the world come tooo!!!!!
i think he is a project of banksy or a critique to people from him.
i'm guessing he has something against walls O.o
No love for art,just profits. .
Honestly some of his work is cool but some of it is so repetitive and I will go as far as his work is probably half-assed as well.
This guy is an evil genius he knew some of the greatest street artists and took what he learned from them to create meaningless art to sell to idiots
4:13 Now you're pushing it.
Behind The Limit
I could make most of his art....because he would want that.....
the issue is he lives by art, and you don´t
Its either Banksy or some fool he hired.
So are the toys that like "his" art.
its amazing to me that prople still don't understand that this dude is a practical joke. his name is Mr BRAINWASH ffs. stop hating and recognize trolling at its finest
Jre brought me here
people complain about him?? come on guys... the worst people in the art market are the AUCTION HOUSES...
wake up and embrace people with passion like MBW .... Life is beautiful...( if you allow it to be) :) :)
He done, he finished, he copied Banksy art works and now it's showing clearly that he has nothing to shoe more.
Ever heard fo the artist Enzo: the homeless artist!!!!
I respect the "Exit Through The Gift Shop" documentary but In my book MBW embodies that stereotypical art gallery artist. Break something, splash paint, smash this and that because its "art". We have all seen movies with art gallery scenes and know what I am talking about. Kinda snobby no? All in all those of us that have love for our craft and street art do it because we have a passion and enjoy getting up in our cities.
genius!
he would be nobody
If this is art, I don't like art. maybe we should start using another word..
ahahahahaahahaahahaahahahaahahaahahaahahaahahaahahaahahaahahaahahaahahaahahaaaaaaaahahahaahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaahahaahahaahahahahaahahaahahahaahahaahahahaahahaahahahahahahahahaah
I think the word you were looking for was "mega-douche"
The Mark Kostabi of 2010.. And like Kostabi his sheen will fade and he will dry up like dog shit and blow away. There is money to be made until there isn't, and that is when he will go away. There is no lasting talent there.
the hipster god...
so i think he made Great job. he made somewhat meaning like 'art was fraud, actually nothing which makes money with brought meanings from watchers.' and that means the communications and economic, sociological enviroment in art world made art, not pieces made.
of course he didnt mean to somewhat like this but he also realized somewhat he made just something and he could put some pricetag, and collecters was Happy!. this is great joke!
brainwash is bansky living art piece
he thought he was lil wayne @ 4:00
0 talent, a lot of "pretentiousness" he's a joke but u do have to admire his passion tho...
Capitalizing on others craft, he has no idea of the stories behind these works and these artist.
actually he does know, he either doesn't care or doesn't understand… but he was with all those artists for years and years, and even though he seems to be an idiot, there is a bit of depth in some of the things he says…
Marcos Eguia
How do you know what he's thinking...?
hahaha, i don't know what he is thinking, but i know that he KNOWS because he was with them (baksy, shepard, etc) and saw what they were doing, filming and just watching, listening to them talk. I don't know if he understood, but the information is in his brain, therefore he knows.

MBW thinks splattering paint on things is art. That's really all he does. $790 for a pair of NIKE'S with paint splashed on them???? Give me a break.
Mr (you should wash your brain)
Mr.Brainwash are you crazy?
didnt anyone get from the movie thats hes a fucking scam?
i actually think Mr. Brainwash is just about Banksy and Fairey's most powerful work of art.. thats how i see it... its all a fucking joke.. this whole grandeur and pretending to be an artist doing jack all creatively and jet being recognised and accepted and making money and appreciated is really just a critique of many other artists wether he does it on purpose or completely deluded of reality.
stop saying bullshits ...he does everything for popularity and fame....banksy ,kidult and other artists than dont reveal their identity,MAKE ART and try to make us see the truth and wake up...on the contrary,his work is just a by product....
Banksy is bristolian. So not him, i don't rate this guy at all. Don't get if he's trying to make out he's banksy or what but its weak as fuck either way
este tipo tuvo tantas influencias que tiene una percepción distorsionada del arte, nunca fue original.
isn't this guy a well known hack?
Mr. cliché, drinking diet coke, pissing coke
Hmmm..... :--/
This is art now????.
