Artist Peter Gronquist decorates real, albeit disabled, weapons with the logos of fashion’s most well-known brands. OK – they’re interesting and thought provoking, but what do his sculptures really mean? Gronquist himself doesn’t even know: “I have so many bullshit theories and meanings about these things,” he told Lost in a Supermarket in 2009.
“I guess that ultimately they’re a parody of myself and the rest of our culture. I really just wanted to make something completely ridiculous. Then people gave me money for them. So I made a ton of them because I’m a whore. I find that it’s a parody of myself because I also like ridiculous things sometimes for no logical reason. I’m a victim of the rampant consumerism that I parody. It’s all very confusing.”
I’d say. After the jump check out the rest of his blinged-out weapon collection.
