Mr. Brainwash or MBW is the moniker of an eccentric
French Filmmaker.

MBW has spent the last nine years attempting to make the
ultimate documentary about graffiti art. But whilst filming
many of the world’s most renowned street artists at work
MBW began putting his camera aside and making art of
his own. He has graduated from a few hand drawn stickers
to giant billboard sized paste-ups, eventually becoming
one of the most prolific street artists in California.

MBW does not fit the stereotype of your average street
vandal. His artistic process chiefly consists of throwing
random modern cultural icons into a blender and turning
it up to eleven. The results are by turns profound, provocative
and inspirational.

‘Life is beautiful’ is the first exhibition ever mounted by
Mr Brainwash. It takes place in a former Hollywood studio
complex and will feature over three hundred paintings,
sculptures and prints alongside an installation made from
100,000 shoes and a life-size re-creation of Edward Hopper’s
‘Nighthawks’.
