290gsm Fine Art Print
BORN TO KILL is an original painting, now available as a limited edition print, that challenges the viewer to consider the destructive nature of both military service and tobacco consumption.
The artwork depicts a single, exaggerated cigarette, its filter a familiar orange, but the main body wrapped in a camouflage pattern—a visual metaphor linking the soldier's intended purpose with the inherent danger of a cigarette. The title, a nod to the iconic military imagery, underscores the parallel: a soldier is "born to kill" on the battlefield, just as a cigarette, once lit, is "born to kill" the smoker. The crumpled lower section suggests damage, destruction, and the ultimate consequence of both "smoking guns."
Artwork Details:
Medium: Original oil painting (Print is Giclée)
Concept: A stark comparison between soldiers intended to kill (smoking guns) and cigarettes created to kill (whilst smoking).
Edition: Limited Edition of 10 Prints. Each print will be numbered and signed by the artist.
Print Specifications:
Paper: Premium 290gsm Fine Art Paper. This archival-quality, heavyweight paper ensures exceptional colour depth and longevity, mirroring the texture and quality of the original painting.
Printing: High-quality Giclée printing for maximum colour accuracy and detail.
