John Padlo's Guns

John Padlo, Red Water Gun
John Padlo‘s new works we’ve been talking about this week have the classic Padlo balance between childlike naiveté/innocence with hints violence/death. The guns he paints push it all further.
John Padlo, Abrupt Possession
To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a gun is just a gun – and sometimes it’s much more. In this case we get water guns and toy guns and toys holding guns and it all works to either dampen the real nature of the firearms – or maybe to make us laugh at the whole paradigm?
