A French-born street artist turned filmmaker, he rose to prominence under the pseudonym "Mr. Brainwash." Initially a vintage clothing shop owner in Los Angeles, he became fascinated by street art, documenting renowned artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey. This journey culminated in the 2010 documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop," which blurred the lines between filmmaker and subject. Known for his vibrant, pop-art-inspired works, he continues to challenge conventional art boundaries.
