CARRY DECO
Combine painting-acrylic and mixed media utilizing .925 sterling silver and superimposed pistol grip
24 x 24 in. (60.9 × 60.9 cm)
With the centenary of the Parisian-influenced, rapidly adopted art deco style of the 1920s-1930s, Carry Deco, the style of .380 cal concealed weapon peaked popularity in the Art Deco era. .925 sterling silver discs used as screws that fasten the grip to the pistol visually reference to the bold use of precious materials and elevated craftsmanship innate to the emergence of this style. Collinear points formed by the bold vectors at their right angles allude to the influence of cubism on the zigzag moderne, the earliest form of Art Deco. The emulation of bronze doré for the backdrop, while interpretable as simply being cohesive to Art Deco, speaks to the dissolution of Art Nouveau. This simulated ormolu, ensconces the dialectic of the causal of shift from Art Deco to Streamline Modern.
