Mr. Brainwash Massive in L.A.

Our man in Los Angeles, Josh, snapped pictures of this massive work by Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta) on Santa Monica Boulevard.  The usual brainwash visuals and messaging are deployed here: Warholian homagery a la Campbell’s soup-can, 1970s-’80s “Memorex Man” TV commercial image and “Life is beautiful.” Mr. Brainwash, as many readers of this blog know, was the subject of Banky’s award-winning documentary film “Exit Through the Gift Shop.” Many thanks for the pix, Josh!
