I am so far out of the alleged art movement after post-modernism that I have no idea who “Blek le Rat, Banksy and Mr Brainwash” are. I suppose that is the anti-thesis of what culture whores and media-cestuous artists are today. They want fame and popularity (after a type) and the common man (I count myself as common) don’t know who they are. I don’t hate them, I don’t love them, I don’t have time to pay attention to them.

Can’t figure out if I rate this brainwash dude is a douche or has an idea. It sounds empty, either way. I’m not inspired at all.

I think you are a moron. Seriously, stop been jealous and make art, if it is good enough it will sell, if not you were never an artist. This also can happen after you die of course but highly unlikely. I have met him, he is lovely. He has some rubbish work but seriously some of his silkscreens are to die for.

So you are saying Hirst is not an artist neither! He employ a team of other artists to make his work and also plagiarize others work.

Mr Brainwash is a moron who does not really have any talent or understanding of art. He makes art superficial & demotivates real artists!

“at that point i realised thierry [mr brainwash] might not be a filmmaker. he might just be a guy with mental problems who owned a camera … i used to encourage everyone to make art. i don’t really do that anymore” – banksy, exit through the gift shop

I love this debate, mainly because when Mr Brainwash says that he is Banksy’s greatest piece of art he means in the most literal of ways possible, as I believe they are probably one and the same. Banksy’s greatest artwork is also his biggest practical joke, a mickey mouse type character used to illustrate how desperate the world is to conform to what is deemed as cool.

Moving away from that notion, with the possiblity that Mr Brainwash could be real, then, no. I do not believe he is a true artist, purely from the aspect that he does not create the pieces himself, but rather employs a team which does it for him.

I still didn’t decide what I think about Mr. Brainwash…
