£33,000.00
Double AK-47 - A Fusion of Icons and Symbolism:
In the enigmatic masterpiece "Double AK-47," Bran Symondson deftly melds two iconic symbols - the AK-47 assault rifle and the Playboy emblem - to craft a narrative that explores contrasts, change, and revolution. This sculpture isn't just a visual delight; it's a thought-provoking journey through symbolism and transformation.
Edition: 1/1
Size: 30" x 37"
Medium: Two deactivated AK-47s embellished with various species of butterflies, Playboy centrefold origami butterflies, one rabbit skull with bunny ears and hand-made glass 7.62mm bullets containing precious stones.
A Canvas of Decommissioned AK-47s: Bran presents two decommissioned AK-47s against a pristine white backdrop, each bearing a distinct visual narrative.
Left AK-47 - The Butterfly Symphony: The left AK-47 is adorned with real blue and yellow butterflies, their vibrant colors dancing in harmony with the glossy pages of Playboy magazines from the '70s and '80s. Bran creates origami butterflies, intertwining them with their real counterparts to create a surreal fusion of nature and human imagination.
Right AK-47 - The Contrast of Darkness: In stark opposition, the right-side AK-47 is cloaked in the darkest shade, Black 3.0 paint. It stands adorned with black butterflies, a visual representation of contrast and duality. The juxtaposition is purposeful, aiming to evoke a sense of opposition and tension.
The Skull Artwork - A Distinct Symbol: Attached to the black AK-47, Bran recreates the iconic Playboy logo using a real rabbit skull. This provocative symbol challenges perceptions and adds depth to the narrative.
Symbolic Gemstone Bullet Fillings: Within the transparent glass bullets in the AK-47 magazine, symbolic gemstones tell a profound story:
- Blue Tanzanite: Signifies transformation.
- Red Garnet: Represents higher thinking and self-empowerment, embodying the sexual revolution.
- Green Peridot: A stone of compassion, harmonizing emotions and mind.
- Citrine Amber: Attracts abundance and prosperity.
- Amethyst - Purple: Clears negative thoughts, fostering humility and sincerity.
- Ruby - Red: Symbolizes passion.
- Pink Sapphires: Represent beauty, wisdom, and purity.
Icons of Change and Revolution: The Playboy logo and the AK-47 are instantly recognizable symbols, both evoking emotions of change and revolution. In "Double AK-47," these symbols merge and diverge, creating a dynamic dialogue on transformation and the human experience.
