Description

Incorporating the concept of trompe l'oeil (French for "deceive the eye"), "Gallery Concept" transforms an ordinary exterior wall into a vivid three-dimensional street scene that features an array of art works, masterfully reproduced, creating the illusion that the viewer is actually looking through the windows of a world-class gallery and dress shop.
