Renowned sculptor Scott Hove is wowing audiences once again with this latest art exhibition called 'Guns & Ecstasy,' which showcases a variety of different weaponry that are designed in the shape of cakes.
While these cake-like sculptures look good enough to eat, these art pieces are actually made from foam material, with the addition of several cake-decorating tools. This exhibit by Hove gives the illusion that these guns are made from edible material, while in fact they are simply made from ordinary, inedible objects. The blending of these sweet confectionary colors and textures with the outline of these violent pieces of weaponry provides an interesting theme that compares aggression with a completely innocent hobby.
This 'Guns & Ecstasy' exhibit by Scott Hove is running until May 25th, 2013 at the Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco, California.
