As the popular saying goes remove a thorn with a thorn.A fitting tribute to those great legends who sacrificed their lives for a cause and ended up being victims of bullet firings. Yes we are talking about Artist David Palmer the man behind this art. He has chosen the bullet shells to create portraits of icons like Lenon,Lincoln and Kennedy.He has collected enough bullet casings and put them all together on a a metal canvas .Then by using a small blowtorch darkens the ends of the bullet casings to make detailed portraits.This was one of the artistic miracle of creating something new from the medium which is used to destroy.A powerful weapon like a bullet is turned in to an art medium thanks to the creative thinking of Palmer.
That was a wonder art work from David Palmer based in California.He has immortalized all the famous gun victims by creating their portraits with bullets . David Palmer was inspired by the fact of creating a memorial for Lennon that would remind future generations about the way he died.Therefore Palmer envisioned a portrait in a pixilation of bullet casings with the aim of taking what destroyed the person in to an enduring moment of strength.
He used 8,000,40 calibre bullet casings from a handgun for the John Lennon piece which measured (48*48 ') and weighed around 160 lb.The casings are struck to a rigid wooden base using a strong adhesive before using the blowtorch and other metal paints to complete the portrait with an array of suitable colour.The artist admits the fact that a negative thing like a bullet usually used for destruction if given an artistic edge by utilizing them in a creative way like this the world would be a better place to live.
David Palmer got a positive response from the public and media around January 19,2012 after displaying his bullet portraits and that has encouraged him to come up with more unique portraits and making this art work known globally.
He also plans in a big way to create portraits of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther king whose lives were claimed by bullets
