Smiles on faces, colors on surfaces

Artwork

Powered by Montana BLACK and Montana GOLD cans, the artists working with a limited color palette all created diverse works. Images varying from classic graffiti inspired works, illustrative, abstract and all the way through to minimal, conceptual and linear work were on display. No one safe from creation as there was even an tattoo element that of course required some crowd participation. Smiles on faces and colors on substrates. It doesn’t get much better than that. Lets take a closer look here.
