Golden Project -GP- is a series of 9 iconic handguns; reclaimed, translated and sublimated into sculptures. Bronze casted and high polished.
**The classic gun sculptures are bold symbols of female power that challenge traditional notions of strength and control. By reinterpreting a typical masculine object, Catharina van de Ven transforms the guns into a powerful statement of female identity and empowerment. The sculptures evoke a sense of confrontation and assertiveness, reflecting the artist's feminist approach and her desire to reclaim tools of power, making them symbols of resilience and authority.**
"As a sculptor, shapes and forms are very important to Van de Ven. One day, while reading the newspaper, she stumbled upon a photograph with revolvers. This inspired her to use this ‘forbidden’, male form and create something beautifully soft and feminine. “A controversial shape transformed into a jewel on the wall to which the viewer feels attracted.” Golden Project consists of 9 iconic gun-shaped sculptures which resemble the human search for power."
