There are painters and sculptors who work with paints and clay, and there are painters who create slightly strange and provocative works of art from unusual materials, with the aim of highlighting the most important and significant issues. Sculptures made of bullets and weapons are those very unusual and provocative works that raise the problem of war and peace, and force people to rethink life values.
The sculptor Al Farrow combined religious and military themes by creating temples with pistols and bullets, and calling his series of works "Reliquaries". His sculptures show the eternal connection between war and religion. The author believes that the cruelty that is committed during the war violates all the dogmas of religion. In the erected tombs, he playfully uses symbols of war, religion and death to create architectural beauty and harmony. Al Farrow does not consider himself to be a gun lover and does not use them, except when he uses machine guns and bullets as material for his sculptures. He is interested in the impact of weapons on society and culture in the past, present and future.
The sculptor Al Farrow has held his own exhibitions since 1970 and is currently represented by the Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco. The sculptor's works are also in many collections, including private ones, around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, and other collections in New York, Germany, Italy and Hong Kong.
The work of the sculptor Sasha Constable is the result of the end of the 30-year civil war in Cambodia, which ended in 1998. The Cambodian government has eliminated 125,000 weapons throughout the country. British sculptor Sasha Constable saw an opportunity to use weapons in a project called Peaceful Art Project. Cambodia”(The Peace Art Project Cambodia) in November 2003. The Peace Art Project Cambodia is a sculptural project to transform weapons into peaceful works of art. In Cambodia, the most beautiful way to get rid of a weapon is to turn it into furniture.
Sasha was born into a creative family and, following the call of genes, graduated from the Wimbledon School of Art in London in 1992 with a degree in sculpture. Since 2000 she has been living and working in Cambodia. Over the past several years, she has focused all her attention on "peaceful art" projects, as well as on teaching art to disadvantaged children.
Sculptor Ross Rodriguez created his own body armor using.30 caliber bullets. This is his way of researching and reporting on the topic of violence in America.
The elephant sculpture is a masterpiece by the talented artist Mary Engel, who claims that elephants are always in danger because people hunt for their "golden" tusks. The bullets from which the elephant is born, beautiful but threatening, they remind mankind of the destruction of exotic animals.
