The initial appearance of the piece (Veiled Threat) belies its true nature. What at first appears to be a straightforward, internally illuminated display piece begins to take on a greater resonance as your eyes adapt to the continually changing focal planes and luminosity levels. Extended observation reveals the isometric deconstruction of the weapons on the front surface of the artwork’s frame, each weapon fragmented into its non-lethal, constituent parts. Further investigation makes apparent the latent brutality of the paired East and West-facing AK47's, caged by necessity, within the steel box. The hot, glowing neon subliminally conveys a need for caution in close proximity to the weapons, whilst simultaneously illuminating the rear surface of the perforated steel front panel, the reflection of which creates further depth and complex parallax effects. The AK-47 rifles contained in the artwork are genuine USSR manufactured 1976 vintage, with authenticity and decommissioning certificates.

The DANGEROUS MINDS ARTISTS Studio was founded by Michael Lake-McMillan and Alan Stuart. The artists’ distinctive work constantly refers and returns to the touchstones of light, beauty in decay, abandonment and antiquated typography. Dangerous Minds practice is driven by duality. The pairs’ intuitive subliminal dialogue centres on point and counterpoint and the production of works that are, fundamentally, aesthetically appealing and which, on further inspection, inspire curiosity and cause a ripple of intellectual stimulation. Subject matter is considered in depth, deconstructed then reformulated with an essential duality at its core, often incorporating ambiguous or cryptic text elements relating to a parallel narrative. Key to their oeuvre is the juxtaposition of the immediately apparent and that which only becomes visible through physical change – either in the position of the viewer or in the lighting of the work, whether specifically engineered or occurring naturally with the transition of day into night.
