Lester Blunt is a London based artist who manipulates and re-contextualises found imagery, creating fresh meanings, new connections and breathing life into remnants of diverse pasts. He screen prints found photography, often combining it with vintage ephemera, creating unique series and editions, which present the viewer with a quasi-nostalgic look into the darker side of western culture and forces them to confront the possibility of a dystopian now.  Loaded, his current long-term project, explores and examines America’s complex relationship with guns and their cultural omnipresence. He is compelled to create narratives that examine the prevalence and ubiquity of guns throughout American life.
