We were told about this exhibit by our friends and we got to know about these upcoming artists who have put up an excellent exhibition displaying their amazing art and stunning pieces of paintings. Their work is mainly inspired by street art with the fusion of modern art which might be a little hard for some people to understand but is truly interesting and unique. I say that it is a must visit to support these upcoming artists who have their heart and soul into it.
