BOOMS, BLOOMS
SUN SENTINEL*
- Gentry Benjamin, Staff Writer -
Saturday, June 22. 1991
Plenty of shooting went on Friday at Bonnette Hunting Preserve.
Bullets whizzed through the air and hit their target. But the trophy for the living room wall won't be a moose head.
Instead, that space over the sofa might be graced with a work by pop
artist Reza.
As an artist, Rez always goes with Inspiration. And when inspiration
hit about a year ago, it said,
"Guns and Roses." Not the rock music group. Actual guns, as in, "Will you need some
rounds for this purchase, Sir?" and roses, as in, "Honey, I love
you." The artist wanted to express life, and he put the two together
because they are total extremes.
The "Guns and Roses" series will consist of flowers painted
on regular canvases and canvases containing bullet holes. Inspiration sent
Rez to Holland to paint the flowers. One of the
paintings is
Beautiful
Morning, a collection of
pink
roses.
