A large number of art enthusiasts and cool young millennial fans waited in a long hot summer line to meet the famed artist Marko Stout and see his much talked about latest works, and once again, Mark Stout certainly did not disappoint!

The exhibition included vibrant aluminum paintings with Stout’s trademark nude women in rabbit masks and various other edgy themes, such as a woman with a ball gag and one giving the middle finger to the art viewers. The show also includes a backroom installation of Stout’s film works, one of which featured a young woman masturbating to orgasm.
