DRAWING ARTISTS

MR BRAINWASH Mr. Brainwash is a Los Angeles-based street artist, and he apparently worked as a security guard, and amateur videographer who was first introduced to street art by his cousin, the street artist Invader, and who filmed street artists through the 2000s and progressed into an artist in his own right which was suggested from Banksy. A number of critics have observed that his works strongly emulate the styles and concepts of Banksy, was that Guetta did an elaborate prank staged by Banksy, who may have created the works himself. His work sold for five-figure sums at his self-financed debut exhibit Life Is Beautiful, due to his street art market, and – according to Banksy – his misuse of endorsements from Banksy and Fairey. The exhibit was held in Los Angeles, California, on June 18, 2008, and was a popular and successful. In October 2013, Guetta took part in Art Wars at the Saatchi Gallery curated by Ben Moore. Guetta was issued with a Stormtrooper helmet, which he transformed into a work of art, the work was also shown on the Regents Park platform as part of Art below Regents Park.

CONNECTION WITH 3D ARTISTS

PURE EVIL Pure evil is an artist and paints tears to flood out of the frames and onto the floor, this creats an effect which draws the eye and outstands from other paintings Becoming an artist was his “destiny”, he says.  He was exposed to the art world by his father, the Welsh painter, John Uzzell Edwards. Holidays would go for visits to galleries and museums. Stepping out of his father’s footsteps, Charley decided to study fashion design at Kingston University. So with a degree in hand, Charley flew over to San Francisco and worked for Fashioning items for skate and snowboarders allowed him to become immersed in street culture by absorbing the work happening around him. Being low on income he started painting and said “ art will set you free. And that’s what it did.” He spent the next few years continuing to work as a graphic and fashion designer, moving out of the Welsh countryside to London. But his interest in street art was growing as he began spraying his evil bunny on shadowed walls. However, following a jaunt to Paris in 2004, Blek le rat told him “you could make a living from this…”and from then he worked with Blek le rat. He then recognises that there is a divide in urban art genres From the research I found out was that his work is to create a sense of fredoom also a political statement for street art.
