Mr Brainwash Interview, by raiden on Apr 24, 2009 0:58:04 GMT 1, I have to stand up for LA a bit and say that plenty of us have more refined tastes. Those that buy MBW are buying partly because of the perception that "he's something" due to his ubiquitous paste up campaign, but at this point, the vast majority of his work lacks merit, is derivative, and is monkey see, monkey do.
Though I do like the pairing for this interview: a no talent, hack, 3rd-rate Carson Daily interviewing a no talent, hack, 3rd-rate Mr. Brainwash.
This guy is trying to buy his way into the world of art, but like I said before, he's pretty much the Thomas Kinkade of the Street Art movement. He's merely pedaling a bunch of well produced, but poorly composed and overly hyped "art" to non-sophisticated hipsters on a mass scale.
But notice the parallels.... Does Thomas Kinkade's work look good in certain houses? A qualified Sure. Is his work well produced... definitely... he got that "canvas prints looking like oil" thing down pat. But is Kinkade great art that will retain its value because it will be more and more appreciated over time? No way.
So will be the fate of MBW... (except Thomas Kinkade is actually a more talented artist because he actually can paint)
Yes, MBW produces high quality prints.... because he hires a very good print house to produce them with really good materials and then splats a bit of paint to make it "personal" - so sure, I'll grant that they are high quality from a print production standpoint. The work he produces himself, however, belies the fact he's amateurish and a bit devoid of any significant vision...
Frankly, I could probably list 1,000 artists who produce better work than this hack. (don't call me on it, because I don't know if I want to look up 1,000 artists who are better than MBW)
But for sake of argument... just take Eelus for example... Put Eelus' "Good, The Bad, and The Moon" canvas side by side against an any MBW canvas and you'd be hard pressed to find an unbiased, casual critic who would say that MBW is the better artist. Now take 1,000 other artists and their slouch pieces, and they'd say the same thing.
That's not to say I wouldn't possibly put his Marilyn Manson up in a room of my house if I was given it for free... Its a cute image. Its fun. But I couldn't justify paying $800 for a Marilyn MBW Print when I bought Eelus' "Gaze Long Into the Abyss" Canvas for the same price! (Nor could I justify buying if for less than it initially sold for by a flipper on Ebay)
I just don't think that MBW has any real staying power and is a complete fad artists who is going to glut his market (he releases so much similar work at a consistent pace). Just the caliber of his collectors and why they collect him tells me this...
Most of the MBW collectors I've spoken with are newer to art collecting and lack a broader perspective of the art market. They buy not because they love the works as much as they believe MBW will be the next big thing (not to say they have no love for it, but just that its a secondary force.) Plus, the amount of misconception about this guy is ridiculous ... stuff like Cope2, Fairey, Banksy, Walker, Invader, all had a part to do with his "33rd St." print because parts of their works are in Brainswash's image.
Even the defender and owner of "2 or 3" pieces on here mentioned "Mr Brainwash has the hype thing down pat, which is really what 98% of the art business is all about (maybe 99%?)."
First lets take both parts of the statement...
What is it? 2 OR 3 Pieces?? If you really love an artist, you'd know if you bought 2 OR if you bought 3 pieces from them! (if you really loved them, you could look up at your wall and count)
Now I can understand if you own more than 10 pieces, you might lose track, and say "I own over 10 pieces." But this is exactly what I'm talking about with MBW... there isn't much commitment by his market... Its all people who buy 2 or 3 just to see if rumors they heard were true, or if the hype is really worth it, or because he might be the next Bansky (or Bansky himself!!) Then they all sit in tubes.
Secondly... Yeah, MBW has hype thing down pat... but all MBW owners say a variation of the same thing... "Art is 98+% hype and MBW has mastered hype." Is that really a resounding endorsement of MBW as an artist? Did college course catalogues suddenly move art appreciation classes from the Art department to Business and Marketing??? Frankly, the staying power of an artist, in any medium (music, painting, film, etc.) depends on their merit as an artist. So great, MBW collectors all basically have appreciation for hype and know a rats ass about art.
I'm not against MBW entirely, I just think he needs to be put in proper perspective.

Mr Brainwash Interview, by amsterdam9697 on Apr 24, 2009 1:24:46 GMT 1, First, enough wiith the sweeping stereotypes... I OWN 4 MBW prints and have 3 of them framed up. They look absolutely beautiful and I get great comments all of the time... I also have Banksy, Dolk, Klausen, EMEK, Walker and a lot of other artists on the walls. So, enough with the LA hipster crap... I live in the OC, know enough about LA and agree that MBW is part hype. BUT, he has done some quality work. NOT a lot, but I love the few pieces I own as well as some that I've missed out on...
As far as regurgitating the same crap, looks like LA is once again the winner with both OBEY and MBW both hailing from the same streets (and may share bankers as well...) But the same can be said of the UK. Seriously, how many artists have put out the same "boy with flowers, girl with spiked club" image over the past 3-4 years... Mmmm, Banksy, Fake (I know, he's Dutch) and on and on and on... Even MBW got in on that one
'Nuff said. Don't want to argue. But enough with the sweeping stereotypes that ALL those that own MBW are trendster brainless t**ts... As with A LOT of artists (past, present & future) some is good, some is crap... though I agree that MBW does put out some absolute crap... but, I've already covered that in a previous MBW thread so I'll let it rest... ;D ;D ;D

Mr Brainwash Interview, by snausages on Apr 24, 2009 2:10:42 GMT 1, Mr Brainwash. I can't say I'm a fan really, I think some of his work is utter tripe. although much of it is better than a lot of the urban art out there. Something in the way that he's derivative but blatantly honest about it and sometimes clever and witty about it too while so many others are just derivative.
But actually I do think some of his work is pretty spot on and am surprised at myself to say anything good about him as I initially completely brushed him off. But I laughed my ass off (in a good way) when I saw his Duchamp urinal. I think this piece is truly truly great to be honest. Such a perfect modern update to the classic, complete with the r mutt graffiti intact.
Actually like MBWs much better than the slightly cliche reworkings by well established and very expensive artists Sherrie Levine or Tom Sachs

Mr Brainwash Interview, by cadeallaw on Apr 24, 2009 2:37:03 GMT 1, ^ and that is just it... Some of his work is good... some of his work is not so good. It is quite the same with ANY artist.
I find it quite humorous that Raiden actally took the time to type out his opinion that was predictable at best, uninteresting at worst. "More refined tastes"... give me a break, you are a dummy, kid. The Thomas Kinkade analogy is incredible off point... as is your historical analyisis of "staying power of an artist". I'd like to make that bet with you that Mr. Brainwash isn't just a fad that will be gone in a year or two :winky face:
Furthermore, I would love to see your 'list of 1000 artists'... i'm sure a decent portion of them would be Banksy clones. Bravo- fantastic artistic vision those individuals have.
My favorite part of your whole rant was your stereotyping people who buy MBW prints as "non-sophisticated hipsters", as if you are this upper echelon "sophisticated" hipster who was born in raised in the States, yet writes "colours". Keep living in your fishbowl you faux british uncircumsized p***s : double winky face:
and for the record... I have TWO prints in my possession, but I bought another one last friday and it isn't in my possession yet (thus THREE). I initially didn't feel the need to specify that as it really isn't all that important.

Furthermore, I would love to see your 'list of 1000 artists'... i'm sure a decent portion of them would be Banksy clones. Bravo- fantastic artistic vision those individuals have.
My favorite part of your whole rant was your stereotyping people who buy MBW prints as "non-sophisticated hipsters", as if you are this upper echelon "sophisticated" hipster who was born in raised in the States, yet writes "colours". Keep living in your fishbowl you faux british uncircumsized p***s : double winky face:
and for the record... I have TWO prints in my possession, but I bought another one last friday and it isn't in my possession yet (thus THREE). I initially didn't feel the need to specify that as it really isn't all that important.

Mr Brainwash Interview, by cadeallaw on Apr 24, 2009 2:45:10 GMT 1, Thank you Mr. Gagnon, that reminds me
Objectively, I think that the biggest criticism of Mr. Brainwash should lie in the fact that he has blatently ripped off ideas from artists who are either on the same plain popularity-wise or less. I really have no problems with the Warhol emulation because i feel that that Warhol is fair game; it is taking ideas from artists such as Rene Gagnon, Fake, and Zev that i have a problem with.

Yeah but everyone rips on warhol, a bit boring now. I think it is interesting that he's ripping on very current trends. Mocking and yet capitalizing on and cannibalizing the whoreish greedy contemporary street art counterculture you might say. Like I said it is obviously derivative, with a witty twist, but the derivation is the concept and motivation behind it. Which makes it seem much more genuine than all of the artists that are unoriginal and very derivative but pretend like they're not.
I'm not trying to big him up or whatever you want to call it. I don't own any of his work and probably never will. But there is something there in the idea, occasionally it comes out really good โ but often times I think it's very weak. And it's not helping that he hangs out with Carson Daly.

Mr Brainwash Interview, by shower on Apr 24, 2009 9:41:37 GMT 1, ive got no respect for an artist that bites others work! he takes the piss as does that interviewer when he he says that mbw is the most recognisable street artist in the world. how can an artist who bites other peoples work be recogisable and different?!

Keep living in your fishbowl you faux british uncircumsized p***s : double winky face:
You can't knock him for spelling "colours" correctly... honestly, some people... ;D
And since when has "uncircumcised penis" (no 'z' ) been an insult? Not that I don't like it as an insult, although it's a bit of a strange one no? Unless it is a Jewish guy doing the insulting, and maybe if they were it'd be a little bit racist, but if it wasn't a Jewish dude then chances are he'd be insulting himself too. I may have to start calling people circumcised penises though... just have to make sure I don't get a racial bollocking (so to speak) for it
;D ;D ;D

Mr Brainwash Interview, by crazyarsemother on Apr 24, 2009 11:45:32 GMT 1, He's a product of the 'scene'. Its been coming for a while and is inevitiable surely. Pop will eat itself? If it is a stunt then its a great one.
Interesting to get a perspective from LA - cheers Raiden.
I thought as an artist you graft to develop your own style so it is either newer and fresher or a step up on the original motivation. Its fascinating to see him take the self publicity that seemed a by product of Bansky's work and then switch it to the primary motivation. A further erosion of bounderies but a further regressive step IMO. Integrity lasts the test, art for art's sake is transparant. Mr Brain Dead must be Andy Warhol's 15 minute dream. Anyway, Bla bla bla.

Mr Brainwash Interview, by twist65 on Apr 24, 2009 12:08:13 GMT 1, Personally I haven't seen a Mr Brainwash image that I remotely like, but if you like his stuff and wanna hang it on your walls fair play to you, eye of the beholder and all that. However if you're getting caught up by some very well orchestrated and premeditated hype, stashing MBW prints in tubes as an 'investment' then I along with many others will be laughing heartily in 10 years time when they're going for peanuts at car boot sales...

Mr Brainwash Interview, by slipway on Apr 24, 2009 12:45:38 GMT 1, There clearly is some well organised hype surrounding this guy. Is what I dont understand is why Banksy and Fairey were giving him so much praise when we was 1st surfacing, putting quotes and statements on their own sites (at least in Fairey's case) and all over the web.
What would they have to gain out of it if they weren't being genuine? And if they were being genuine, they seem to rate him pretty highly
