Mr. Brainwash

Atlanta is Beautiful

2021 | Acrylic and neon

Atlanta is Beautiful is a mural by contemporary artist Thierry Guetta, more commonly known by his moniker Mr. Brainwash. A fusion of street and pop art, this work features a collage of notable figures from Atlanta’s rich history including Henry “Hank” Aaron, Bernie Marcus, Arthur M. Blank, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King, Representative John Lewis, President Jimmy Carter, Rosalynn Carter, and Ambassador Andrew Young. The bright neon lights remind us "life is beautiful," while the wall of familiar images, landmarks, and Atlantans overlooking Mercedes-Benz Stadium remind us of their beauty.
