Charcoal Flintlock

Edward Lightner’s Flintlock series explores a variety of abstracted US atomic explosions through a set of collage paintings that incorporate medical disclaimers in the mandala-like structures he creates. These framed works of fine art are all hand-painted by the artist. Each piece is ready-to-display on your wall.

Edward Lightner’s fascination with images of atmospheric atomic tests inspires his compelling art. In his recent series he has moved on to exploring imagery derived from underground atomic testing, uncovering visual threads of connectivity between beauty and death. Using such imagery allows him to incorporate other issues, such as the AIDS epidemic and religious dogma.
