About the AK-47 Wall Art Print:
This limited edition print is derived from Bran's original art piece, 'Blue'. The artwork features a deactivated AK-47, sourced from a conflict zone and intricately embellished with real butterflies. The original piece was exhibited and sold at the prestigious Hofa Gallery in Mayfair, London.
Bran Symondson delves into the profound influence of colour in our culture and its symbolic meanings across the globe. The colour blue, representing both the sky and the sea, is universally associated with open spaces, freedom, and imagination. Throughout history, blue has held great significance, symbolizing tranquillity, loyalty, and depth.
This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to contemplate the duality of beauty and conflict. The colour blue has played a pivotal role in historical contexts, from its use in art and religion to its representation in the uniforms of military forces. Bran's artwork prominently features Morpho butterflies, whose wings shine an electric blue, further highlighting the transformative power and enduring allure of this colour.
