Mark Gonzales exhibition at the dpmhi gallery in London

Now open at the dpmhi gallery, this exhibition features new paintings alongside an installation of 1000 Megga America Priest figures. Must say I've never been the biggest fan of Mark Gonzales figures but the display looks damn impressive!

850 Priests have been fully hand customised and painted whilst just 50 of each of the original three colourways have been left plain. Mark hand engraved each and every single figure (including the 150 unpainted versions) with the edition number and a signature, ensuring that no two Priests are the same. Plans are also underway to publish a book featuring photographs of each individual figure, so as to fully document Mark's creative process.
