In 2010, Mr Brainwash appeared as the central character in the Oscar nominated documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop, directed by Banksy and including much of his own footage.

It charts the unconventional rise of an art phenomenon who began as a maverick film maker but transformed himself into a key player in the sphere of street art, the biggest counter-cultural movement since Punk, and brought Mr Brainwash and his art to even greater prominence. In the last 10 years, this subversive and playful visionary has been placed on the elite list of the world’s top artists based on auction sales of nearly $2.5million and his meteoric rise has been the largest ever seen in the Art Market.
