❄️ In an UNPRECEDENTED move - on the final day

Did you know we are the only gallery in the United

Did you know we are the only gallery in the United States showing the work of @eliot_thesuper!?!
We've seen an incredible response to his work since we began repping him around this time last year.
Check out the newest arrivals from the Munich based stencil artist who hand paints each piece using nothing else but aerosol.
Staying true to his name, he elicits exclusivity by creating "super limited" runs which can range from editions of 5 up to 150. (go ahead zoom in to check on the run size of each image!)
Since each piece is painted by hand with unique embellishments, they truly are more like originals than anything.
If you're looking for a gift for an audiophile, foodie, pop art afficionado or anyone in between, Eliot's work is sure to please.
Priced $185-360 they're all in the "affordable" range so go ahead add two or three to your cart and receive 23% off your total order through 2moro!! After Monday this deal will be gone gone gone!
