Boom Boom Platter (2023) 绘画 由 Timothy Colomer

Behold the masterful still life titled "Boom Boom Platter," an exquisite representation of both culinary and explosive delights. Created by a former Marine Corps explosive ordnance disposal technician, this piece showcases a delicate china dish precariously loaded with grenades from around the globe. The artist's background lends an air of authenticity, as if he might just know how to spice up a dinner party—literally.

In the center, a classic American M67 grenade sits proudly, resembling a robust green apple, ready to add some shrapnel to your salad.

Notice the careful arrangement—each grenade placed with the precision only a former bomb technician could muster. The dish itself, a fragile porcelain heirloom, hints at the thin line between beauty and destruction, much like your last attempt at cooking Thanksgiving dinner. One can't help but appreciate the subtle humor in the juxtaposition: the refined elegance of a china dish with the raw, untamed power of military ordnance. It's as if the artist is saying, "Bon appétit—just don't pull the pin!"
