| About the pieces | |||||
Please write to Philip Lawson for availability. Series one, the series SKS (Samoryadnyi Karabin Simonova ), seen here, is a closed series. Fifteen of twenty-five are still available for show or sale. Series two, (in production), Avtomat Kalashnikova’s AK47. Series three, (in production), John M. Browning’s 1911, .45 auto. Custom pieces for AK (Kalashnikov) and 1911 .45 auto (Browning) available. Commissions welcome. These sculpture are cast from Lucite plastic. They are 1/1 size cast directly from the weapon. In this series of conceptual works, the assault rifle is transformed into a piece of art. The danger is taken out and moved into an aesthetic object, clear and colorful. The next step is the engraving, whose message is that of peace, and a reminder that there is only one God. These allegorical statements and images are collected from various sources, and written in Arabic (Thulif Calligraphy), English, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin. |
