Bullet art by David Palmer
‘American Legacy’ highlights the significance of arms in America, both historically, militarily and individually. In reverence to Liberty, it acknowledges the necessity of arms to defend it, while questioning the many military actions waged in its name.
Meanwhile, American contemporary artist, 60-year-old California resident David Palmer has created a gallery of portraits of celebrities from unusual medium – bullet shells. Noteworthy, he depicts mostly the famous people who died from gunshot wounds – John Lennon, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. First, after collecting enough bullet casings, the artist puts them together to create a metal canvas. Next, using a small hand torch darkens the ends of the bullet casings, creating incredibly detailed portraits. And the result is stunning – using such a seemingly inappropriate art medium like bullets, he depicts their victims. According to Palmer, he hopes viewers will “see the miracles that can arise from choosing to create rather than destroy.”
