About Thierry Guetta

Thierry Guetta, best known by his moniker Mr. Brainwash, is a French-born Los Angeles–based street artist. He is of Tunisian Jewish ancestry. According to the 2010 Banksy-directed film Exit Through the Gift Shop, Guetta was a proprietor of a used clothing store, and amateur videographer who was first introduced to street art by his cousin, the street artist Invader, in 1999 and who filmed street artists such as Shephard Fairey through the 2000s and became an artist in his own right in a matter of weeks after an off-hand suggestion from Banksy.
