In this limited edition silkscreen print James Bates has taken the stark, graphic image of a AK47 machine gun and broken it down into a microcosm of activity and imagery. The idea is that the closer you look, the more you see, and what you see is not always what you get. From such a simple image a whole society of abstracted creatures and map like worlds emerge. Within the violent weapon a city like, patterned world of characters appears. The print is created by painstakingly drawing each individual shape and character, magnified hundreds of times. Bates’ use of metallic ink gives the print a unique precious metal like appearance.nbspClick these words to find similar printsSilk Screen Prints Limited Edition nbspContemporary Art nbspnbspBritish
