Paranoid Pictures is a stencil on canvas work which illustrates the logo chosen by Banksy for a fictional production company for Exit Through The Gift Shop, an Oscar-nominated biographical documentary starring Thierry Guetta, also known as Mr. Brainwash. It is an obvious appropriation of the well-known logo of Paramount Pictures.
It was initially released in 2004 for the price of GBP 325.
Paramount Pictures is the fifth oldest film studio in the world, the second oldest film studio in the United States (behind Universal Pictures), and the only member of the “Big Five” film studios still located in the city of Los Angeles.
