“It’s nice that children have this ability to transform objects,” Michael says in an interview with The Melbourne Review. “And I think that ability is really beautiful. I’m always conscious that children are exploring and inheriting a world that is a fairly dangerous place, but children also reinvent things in their own mind and then eventually they reinvent the world. I think there’s something really beautiful in that.”

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Michael Peck readily admits that his monochromatic artwork reminds people of death. Whereas most people resort to skulls and other obvious symbols, though, the Melbourne artist uses children. Each of his oil on linen pieces features a child in an act of play, whether hopping around a crashed vintage war plane or painting a target, but manages to still come off poignant and thoughtful.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
