" GUNS-N-ROSES "
62.5" x 50.5"
"Guns-N-Roses" is a visually striking and emotionally charged painting that invites viewers to ponder its deeper narrative. The bride, dressed in her wedding gown and holding a gun, faces St. Patrick's Church in Telluride, Colorado, as her discarded roses scatter to the wind. The juxtaposition of the gun and the roses symbolizes a stark conflict between love and violence, hope and despair, or perhaps freedom and commitment. The ominous tone leaves the story open to interpretation: did the groom betray her, leading to an act of revenge? Did she realize at the altar that she married the wrong person? Or is she reclaiming her autonomy in a moment of profound self-awareness? The references to "Kill Bill" evoke themes of empowerment, vengeance, and defiance, further deepening the sense of mystery. "Guns-N-Roses" challenges viewers to question the unexpected turns life can take.
