Hope Balloon is a painting on Canvas, mounted on wood and framed by the artist. It was made in an edition of 5 Only. It is among the most sought-after works of street artist Mr. Brainwash. The main motif is a stencil that is sprayed onto changing backgrounds. These backgrounds are made up of new compositions, which are constructed using old comics and magazines, first as a collage and then sprayed with different stencils. Finally, acrylic paint is poured over it to obtain the streaks of incomparable colors. Some works also contain cement as a background element, a mat gray cement paint. 

Hardly any other street artist has experienced such a rapid rise as the Frenchman Thierry Guetta aka Mr. Brainwash, born in Garges-lès-Gonesse in 1966. His path to becoming the most successful artist of recent years is closely linked to the name Banksy and his Oscar-winning film “Exit Through the Gift Shop”: In this documentary Banksy encourages the then still unknown Guetta to become active as an artist himself under the pseudonym Mr. Brainwash. The rumor that the Frenchman Mr. Brainwash is a purely fictitious person invented by Banksy is therefore persistent. Of course, this has been refuted for a long time, as Mr. Brainwash has meanwhile appeared in public several times and received awards. Mr. Brainwash has also been designing huge murals in New York in memory of the 9/11 attacks.

His first exhibition in 2008, titled “Life is Beautiful,” took place in a 15,000-square-foot complex on Hollywood’s famed Sunset Boulevard featuring three hundred unique pieces, sculptures, and prints. Among them was a life-like replica of Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks. To organize his first exhibition, Mr. Brainwash used all his savings and mortgaged his house.
The exhibition was inaugurated on June 16th, 2008, and was immediately an extraordinary success, both for critics and the public.

The lavish use of spray paint and stencils has become his trademark for his unique and original Street Art works. In addition to the USA, Europe and Korea, Mr. Brainwash has also had numerous exhibitions in Dubai, Japan and Canada.

Mr. Brainwash worked with David Guetta in 2012 and directed the music video for “Metropolis”, a song that David Guetta produced together with his colleague Nicky Romero and which currently has over 14 million views on You-Tube. David Guetta and Thierry Guetta are half-brothers.
