Robert Lazzarini — Gun (V)
Robert Lazzarini

Gun (V)

Robert Lazzarini's *Gun (V)* presents a distorted, hyper-realistic rendering of a handgun that appears to have been warped and stretched through a skewed mathematical perspective, unsettling the viewer's sense of spatial logic. Lazzarini is known for his meticulous manipulation of familiar objects, using precise anamorphic distortion to create forms that feel simultaneously recognizable and deeply wrong. The work challenges perception and forces a confrontation with an iconic symbol of violence rendered alien and disorienting.
