The character 'Mister Brainwash' is a work by Banksy

I assume Mister Brainwash is invented and launched by Banksy,
MBW is a work by Banksy. They switched identities, Banksy becomes the filmmaker and as return he launched Guetta as an 'fictitious' artist.
What MBW makes is of no importance, the fact that MBW has reached a status as artist proves how ridicilous the art world works. Very smart thinking Mister Banksy. You did it again.
My respect.

And Banksy is a fantasy character created by "Blek the Rat", that's why Banksy never showed his face, unlike every other street artist.

Someone figured out that claimed anonimity appeals the interest of audience and viewers more than the inner quality of the art piece. just like "Daft Punk" did.
