This exhibition is not just limited to canvas and showcases art beyond the conventions. A collection of interesting items, ranging from vintage guns to superhero helmets, will be displayed as part of this show.

Unusual artefacts such as military armour, miniature car models, swords and vintage non-firing guns and Hollywood merchandise, customised into artworks make for a visual delight at an upcoming exhibition – Triptych Parade.
