The piece I've decided to chose to right about is "Life is Beautiful" by infamous graffiti artist Mr.Brainwash. This wheat paste and painting was put up around November of 2011 and was originally made to advertise his art show that would only be a couple blocks away. This piece was made sometime around after the film Exit Through The Gift Shop was made through Mr.Brainwashes inspiration by Bansky. This artwork is posted up on Highland and Santa Monica near the new and up coming local restaurant called Fat Sal's. So far this mural has had much publicity and is well known around the Hollywood area. Many graffiti artist such as Shepard Ferry, Bansky, and Mr. Brainwash have different pieces of art displayed around Hollywood. However, the use of Ghandi and Einstein both turn small phrases into large messages. The aura of this mural is peaceful beauty.
