Lester Blunt explores themes that resonate with him through the manipulation and re-contextualisation of found imagery. This approach creates new meanings and breathes life into remnants of diverse pasts. His art often presents the viewer with a look into the darker side of human nature and forces them to confront the possibility of a dystopian now. Loaded, his long-term project, explores America’s complex relationship with guns and their cultural omnipresence. He looks to create a compelling narrative that examines the prevalence and ubiquity of guns throughout American life.
