Framed Gun Art

Despite the sometimes-controversial position they occupy in history and in politics, guns are a widely recognizable symbol and an image of power that captivates a wide audience. As such, it may come as no surprise that there is a growing trend for framed gun posters. These posters, be they photographs, paintings, sketches, graphic manipulations, or any other form of artwork, are often vivid and loaded with meaning, authority, and the concept of raw power. Whether this power attracts the viewer or stirs up opposition often depends on the viewpoint the artist takes, which varies significantly from piece to piece.

Sometimes, the intention behind a piece is powerfully obvious in its title. In a piece such as “Guns of Glory” by Dean Millman, for example, one can assume safely that the framed gun wall poster art is going to give the subject material a favorable light. Contrastingly, “Six Shooter and Hand Cannon,” by LA Pop Art, might have something less favorable to imply. As with any artistic subject, it all comes down to how you spin it, but such a touchy subject is especially prone to interpretation.
