Toys are a big part of a persons childhood. Some adults keep their toys in memory of a happy and playful childhood and have their own kids play with it. But what if there are toys that actually connote violence and death? Are they still considered as toys?
Chandeliers are light fixtures commonly seen in mansions or buildings that evoke class and refinement. The high electricity cost of a chandelier owning to its numerous little bulbs is what makes it affordable only to the upper society. Chandeliers bring about warmth and elegance in a space. It connotes a rich and luxurious lifestyle. Chandeliers can come off as glass, plastic, bronze or metallic. The intricate design on a chandelier makes it a pricey commodity in relation to other lighting fixtures.
In the newest exhibit in Baltimore, Maryland entitled Guns and Chandeliers: two painters showcase their art. The theme Guns will feature a rising awareness whether or not toy guns are allowable to be played by kids or not. Different images depicting kids playing with plastic guns will be displayed in the gallery. The images will evoke the long standing issues of guns being a symbol of war and demise and as a harmless toy being played with by kids.
The theme Chandeliers will focus different pictures of enchanting and elegant chandeliers in the different painting styles and strokes. The artist is projected to effectively communicate the atmosphere of elegance and refinement through paintings. The still life images reportedly look very real that one should resist touching it. Through these painting one is reminded of the social barrier existing in the middle of the rich and the poor.
The exhibit is a play of contrast and differences. One concept talks about robust play and the onset of doom, the other of refined elegance and simplicity. Enthusiasts and art aficionados really looks in awe at these pieces of art that are very well done while awakening and silently tackling deep social significances within.
