There is no creature in the world more cute than a rabbit. Therefore, his images (and the animals themselves) are so loved by girls and, in general, by lovers of everything white and fluffy. Therefore, the creativity of the Lucky Bunny collective seems to be very surprising, creating a series of works with the name Grenade Bunny.
The pomegranate is a symbol of war, a symbol of destruction, a symbol of danger, a symbol of human ambition, grinding everything in its path. Therefore, this weapon is often used in art. Examples include holiday grenades from Kata Legrady, felt grenades from Nifer Fahrion, chocolate grenades from Héctor Galván, and porcelain grenades from Charles Krafft. But the Lucky Bunny team became famous thanks to … the pomegranate rabbit.
Grenade Bunny is not a single piece of art, it is a whole series of works united by one character - a rabbit made from a grenade. This amalgamation of completely different things (weapons and a cute, fluffy animal) was created specifically to show the paradoxical nature of the very concept of "war", which does not fit well with the modern idea of the world, humanism, of Humanity as such, and also create an image of militant good that fights against evil and injustice.
Having created a successful image, the Lucky Bunny group replicates their pomegranate rabbit Grenade Bunny in large quantities, creating more and more new entourage for it, finding new places to use it.
Lucky Bunny makes huge sculptures of Grenade Bunny and installs them in iconic places, she sells small figurines of a pomegranate rabbit over the Internet, puts his images on cups, T-shirts, makes stencils with him. Moreover, some of these projects are of a commercial nature, and some are public and social. For example, we can mention that Lucky Bunny is involved with their Grenade Bunny in the Occupy Los Angeles movement, creating for him a series of stickers with pomegranate bunnies on them, encouraging solidarity and being heard.
