Artist Paints With Gunpowder
370
RELATED:
Click to unmute Wyoming-based artist Danny Sherving uses flames not to destroy but to create. He begins by meticulously assembling gunpowder on wood and canvas, depicting animal portraits, mostly creatures from the Grand Teton National Park where he grew up and resides to this day. Once the ammunition is arranged, Shervin ignites it and everything erupts into fire. The flame travels throughout the entire composition, burning the image into the surface. Danny sells his pieces online and the prices range from $35 for a 5-by-7 inch piece to all the way up to four figures for unique large complex works.

This is not something you'd want to do if you had a head cold. One sneeze and ka pow!

I really hope this becomes a trend. Although, i think purchasing large quantities of gunpowder might raise suspicion

Watching the burning process is as beautiful as the finished product. Glad the whole process was recorded.

That certainly takes woodburning to a totally new level. IMG_3298.jpg
