explosion!
it gets more whacked up here
closeup of the detail
including bones of a spine
teeth and spent bullet casings
made mainly out of guns parts
This is an interesting piece
but that's modern art per se
and the occasional blot of paint!
idolisations
and items,
pieces done using non-traditional media
arts of the streets
many of the main galleries feature modern art
blending modern and traditional art together
bu tthere's more to that
