Description

In The Flowers Gun , Van Apple repurposes a universal symbol of violence—the revolver—to create a resolutely peaceful and poetic work. The sculpture, chrome-plated or gilded depending on the version, represents a firearm whose barrel releases a vibrant bouquet of flowers, in colored resin or metal, symbolizing beauty, life, and hope.

True to his contemporary pop art style, Van Apple blends visual provocation with a committed message: here, the artist invites us to disarm the world through culture, love, and nature. The Flowers Gun is not just an aesthetic object; it is a manifesto against violence, a celebration of peace, and a call to wonder in a world too often dominated by brutality.

With this strong and bold work, Van Apple continues his work on contrasts and the diversion of objects, offering a piece that leaves no one indifferent.
