Thierry Guetta kunstnikunimi on Mr Brainwash (s 1966) ning ta on Prantsuse päritolu tänavakunstnik, kes elab ja töötab Los Angeleses. Kunstnik on tuntud tänavakunsti ja popkunsti kokkusulatamise tõttu. Tegelikult alustas ta filmitegijana dokumenteerides kuidas Banksy ja Shepard Fairey tänavatel töötasid.
