Right next to White Walls Gallery is the Shooting Gallery. They were literally connected to each other as you could walk through the wall and stand inside another exhibit. I was shocked when I entered the Shooting Gallery as a monkey pointed a chrome AK-47 at me (photo after the jump). Before continuing my story, initially I wasn't aware of this show or artist but the enormous pieces were so eye catching I decided to share it with you....
All in all, the exhibit featured 10 large sculptures, 4-5 paintings and around 30 smaller sculptures. I couldn't personally interpret the pieces in a simplified way but according to the artist the large sculptures explored "the evolution of desire through greed and consumerism with a bit of irony and humor. Whether somber or fantastical, the ornate sculptures are crafted through hours of meticulous care, evident in the elaborate details." To my surprise Peter Gronquist is a visual artist living close to the Northwest in Portland, Oregon. This probably explains the influence of deers in his show. The exhibit runs till September 1, 2012.
+ My favorite piece in the show, Destroy. Sold.
+ A major Hello Kitty fan must have bought all of these.
