The bullet-hole works will be both plain metal sheets and painted canvas.
Rez said firing into the metal sheeting catches the bullet expression better
than painting it. One bullet canvas,
Blue
Steel, depicts an outline of a dead body. Bullet
holes dotted the canvas. Other, white metal canvases just contain bullet
holes. Rez said he would not paint the metal because the works can speak
for themselves. "There is no statement I can make that is stronger
than the paintings themselves," he said.
At Bonnette, a hunting club west of Palm Beach Gardens,
sharpshooter Court Swett got the target in his sights. But he had trouble
seeing the connection between bullets and art. "I think it's rather
ridiculous. It just doesn't seem that much like art,"
said Swett, of West Palm Beach, "But what do I know? I just
"shoot for a living."
