Banksy Flick

I watched Banksy's film today 'Exit through the gift shop. I was confused at first. The film is effectively about someone else.

Mr Brinwash is a french graffiti artist who began by filming famous street artists. Eventually he decides to learn how to do it himself.

My inital thought was that he was a fictional character created to try to trick people, but it turns out that he is a real artist, probably helped by the success of the film, but a real artist none the less.

The film gave an interesting insight into the new 'professional street art' scene. Famous street artists set up studios and produce art rather than doing it on the fly.

Srange.
