Exhibited in Dilmos Gallery in Milan, this Ron Gilad collection of stange mirrors is a representation of deeper layers of the human personality in their ability to force viewers to look not only at the pieces, but at themselves in a completely different light. Made from different materials, some of the Ron Gilad mirrors represent the history of Italy; however, all pieces have one thing in common, they have a truly psychedelic form and conceptual images incorporated in them for added artistic value. These strange mirrors will create a trippy mood in any room and give you a new view of yourself.
