Who is Mr. Brainwash?, by Pattycakes on Jun 25, 2008 15:28:05 GMT 1, And there is something to do with an Obey documentary also, seems really strange, what is more odd is that I was sent the link by quite a big gallery who seem now to be representing him!

Who is Mr. Brainwash?, by urbanangel on Jun 25, 2008 15:34:47 GMT 1, Mr Brainwash is a guy that was making documentary of street art, in particular following Banksy and Obey, as i understand it.
Whilst making the documentary, Mr Brainwash started painting himself.
I understand that he is supported heavily by Banksy and Obey. He was invited to paint at CANS and he did the Madonna kissing Britney image (like a Barcode).
The documentary run into difficulties and a 'twist' took place, which i can't discuss, as i don't know whether it's confidential or not.
I understand that he has received massive interest in the US and i think he's someone that you will hear a lot more about.

fair enough but if you didnt know the bloke and looked at his site for the first time you may think the same thing. Although im not digging most of the work, the show looked ace though
EDIT: just re-looked over that blog and theres some intresting stuff in there

Who is Mr. Brainwash?, by Backpack Punk on Jun 25, 2008 16:17:37 GMT 1, There is also a really good discussion going on here:
forum.thegiant.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11396&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
BTW from what I was told MR Brainwash might not have even picked up a brush to do any of his own work, also the oil paintings are just printed out Giclees with varnish over them to make them look like oil paintings.

Who is Mr. Brainwash?, by Pattycakes on Jun 25, 2008 16:33:48 GMT 1, Looking at the images the one piece that annoys me more than any other is the blatant rip-off of the Nam June Paik, the Robot TV work. Paik was one of the truly original artist's of the 60's - I am beyond appalled.

Who is Mr. Brainwash?, by Guest on Jun 25, 2008 16:37:13 GMT 1, Terry is a super cool guy, but I think I would agree with most, that he was better behind the camera... Looking forward to seeing his movie...
He's got the past 10 or more years of Shep's work, and has documented pretty much Banksy's short yet brilliant career.

Who is Mr. Brainwash?, by Guest on Jun 25, 2008 17:04:57 GMT 1, I know, I can't wait to see the movie. He told me that they are going into POST shortly...
I do not envy the guy who has to go through 10 years and thousands of hours of footage... Oh, wait, yes I do. Could you imagine getting paid to edit a film like that? How Fun!

hes clearly been influenced by Warhol and Banksy, (hes knows B well) but name a street artist that hasnt been influenced by them?

I think it's a bit bold to say these artists have not been influenced by the work of Warhol at least -- Banksy, I can un derstand as his work is comparitively newer, but Warhol changed the contemporary art scene so dramatically that it is impossible to have not been influenced by him in some way!!! That goes for anyone producing art in today's world!

a bunch of artists who are crazy about handmade objects... i would say their work is not directly influenced by Warhol, but they, like everyone else, knows who he is and what he's about.
