Toys are perceived to be a big part of a person's childhood. Some adults keep their toys in memory of a happy and playful childhood and have their own kids play with it. But what if there are toys that actually bring message of violence and death? Are they categorized as toys?

Chandeliers are light fixtures commonly seen in as an extravagant symbol in mansions or building that evokes class and refinement. The high electricity cost of a chandelier owning to its numerous little light bulbs is what makes it affordable to the upper society. Chandeliers carries with it warmth and elegance in a space. It connotes a rich and luxurious lifestyle. Chandeliers can come off as glass, bronze or even plastic. The intricate design on a chandelier makes it a pricey piece in relation to other lighting fixtures

In the exhibit entitled: Guns and Chandeliers in Gallery Imperato Baltimore, Maryland two prolific painters show off their works of art using these concepts. The theme Guns will feature a rising awareness whether or not toy guns are allowable to be played by kids or not. Different images depicting kids playing with plastic guns will be displayed in the gallery. The images will evoke the long standing issues of guns being a symbol of war and demise and as a harmless toy being played with by kids.

The theme bearing "Chandelier" will feature different images depicting this elegant house lighting fixture. The artist will effectively convey the feeling of elegance and refinement through her paintings. The still life images reportedly look very real that one should resist the urge to touch it.

Enthusiasts and art aficionados really looks in awe at these pieces of art that are very well done while awakening and silently tackling deep social significances within. - 2361
