Israeli ex-sniper creates artworks using gun on canvas instead of paint brushes

Former Israeli military sniper David Roytman has turned his hand to motion portray, using weapons and live-fire ranges instead of brushes and studios to blast colors onto canvases.

In Israel, Roytman makes use of a pistol to shoot luggage stuffed with paint, which then splatter onto a wood-board canvas, creating the paintings. In his native Ukraine, he creates work in an analogous manner by using the cannon of a World War Two-era tank.

Roytman, 42, describes the tactic as method to exorcise tough recollections from his fight service.
