Everything Must Go
Solo Exhibition
A show by AG_PNT
"Good art isn't cheap, cheap art isn't good, but everyone loves a deal!"
With 60+ pieces for under $100, this show sent collectors and first time art buyers home with a piece of this massive exhibition whether it was an AG_PNT canvas or flash tattoos provided at the event.
AG_PNT filled the floating walls at DSDI gallery with thrifted items before painting the entire wall as one piece and embellishing each individual piece with precision spray painted art to transform the gallery space into one giant piece.
