About this artwork
“Gentle Force" melds the stark imagery of power with the softness of textile art, presenting a striking visual paradox. This piece features a hand-crafted gun, knitted with detailed precision, creating a textured, almost tactile sensation. The use of a rug-like fabric as the medium adds an intriguing layer of domesticity and comfort to the traditionally harsh, metallic nature of firearms. Positioned against a grey cloth, the contrast enhances the gun's form, emphasizing the interplay between aggression and gentleness. This artwork challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions of force and protection, framed within the unexpected softness of knitwork. The signature 'papayon' at the corner not only marks the piece but also invites contemplation on the role of art in peace and conflict.
