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. Kui Mr Brainwash ise kunsti tegema hakkas, siis lõi ta oma tõlgendusi aerosoolvärvidest, näiteks muutis ta Andy Warholi Campbelli supipurgid aerosoolvärvideks. 2012. aastal toimus Mr Brainwashi Londoni esimene näitus nimega “Life is beautiful”, tegemist oli sama aastaga, kui Londonis toimusid suveolümpiamängud ning teost “Queen Elizabeth II” esitleti nii teose kui ka sellest tehtud suure plakatina majaseinal.
