Lucia Love's paintings focus on a cast of characters placed within surreal situations that bring to mind the comedic absurdity of our current moment in time. The open-ended narrative within the paintings touches upon gender roles, the environment, politics, and the dynamics of power, often using references from art and political history to highlight the strangeness of our current reality. The work's title references America's obsession with and overabundance of guns and gun culture.
