Cai Guo Qiang is a contemporary artist who currently resides in New York
City and was born December 8th of 1957. His signature work of art is explosion
events, deriving from his exploration with gunpowder when he lived in
Japan. He creates art pieces, which prove to be educated and intellectual
by his use of materials, symbols, and representation. Qiang makes use
of taxidermies and gunpowder in his art in order to portray his
focus. His focal point regarding his work is the greater message
of the universe in which we live. He acknowledges the bigger picture in terms
of the destruction humans have brought upon the natural world around
us. Personally I feel that each piece of Qaing’s work holds its own
powerful message and statement. His piece from the "Guggenheim
Exhibit" is a good demonstration of this; the piece portrays a
clear statement concerning the impact and effect that society has
on animal life and the environment. my favorite piece would be "Head
On" because i believe it represents the rise and decline of
animals. It is the messages he attempts to depict in his
artwork that makes the pieces interesting to me.
