Painting With Bullets
Military Folk Art by Matthew Stromberg
If you are wandering around Savannah Georgia's College of Art and Design and see a gunman, call your art broker. Matthew Stromberg shoots aluminum box panels with sub machine guns. He convinced the higher ups to let him use “energetic materials†as a media- college speak for high explosives. Stromberg blasts away at some fancy metal with an SWD M11/9 and then hangs the stuff and calls it art. He also creates art with Thermite, ANFO, C4, and solid rocket fuel. Yeah, it's earth shattering and sure to be very popular with gun toting, gun loving America.
