Young Thug is getting his own art exhibition, sort of.

A 'Young Thug As Paintings' exhibition is set to start at Miami gallery SCOPE later this year, juxtaposing pictures of Young Thug with classic paintings.

For the last two years 'Young Thug As Paintings' has been running as an Instagram page but now they're taking it IRL with sponsorship from Thug's own label Young Stoner Life.

Hajar Benjida, who runs the account, said about the exhibition, "I jokingly answered an interview question with ‘I hope to discuss renaissance paintings with Thug someday.’ One-and-a-half years later and I’m bringing my project to life together with Young Thug himself.”

Thug truly is the modern day Mona Lisa.
