Cai Guo-Qiang

Cai Guo-Qiang (b.1960) is one of the most important Chinese artists to have emerged internationally in the 1990s
Best known for his spectacular gunpowder projects, Cai has explored a diversity of media and art forms, including works such as an extension of the Great Wall of China made from fire, designed to be seen from outer space by extraterrestrial beings; feng shui rearrangements of public and private spaces; participatory projects with kites, jacuzzis and mini golf courses; and sculptures constructed from melted-down cars or abandoned boats
Cai’s projects are strongly influenced by their location and the works are frequently altered or developed as they are exhibited at new sites
