Iconic or Cheesey? You decide

If anyone has seen the Banksy film 'Exit through the gift shop' you will have heard of Mr Brainwash. He is a crazy French guy who basically filmed everything. His cousin was a graffiti artist in Paris. In fact, I love Invader's work so much I may post purely about Invader's mosaics sometime soon.

Anyway, Mr Brainwash filmed all the graf royalty over the course of 10 years and ended up doing his own stencils and then spent a bucketload of cash to put on his own exhibition in LA. It is a wonderful story of how he piggybacked the whole scene and hoodwinked the A-list community to buy his work. however, he paid his dues and now he's getting paid




This is kind of obvious but if you are down in New York's Nolita village be sure to swing by Mott St and catch this, it's nicely done even down to the deliberate off kilter effects. So surely Mr Brainwash's work is pure satire....isn't it?
