Cai Guo-Qiang Creates New Gunpowder Paintings

Cai Guo-Qiang is one of six contemporary artists invited to explore the Guggenheim’s collection as a curator of the exhibition “Artistic License: Six Takes on the Guggenheim Collection”
. As part of his presentation, Cai produced new gunpowder paintings in homage to iconic abstract works in the Guggenheim collection. He says, “I used mirrors and glass to create a few large-scale iconic pieces. I deliberately placed their ‘brand’ onto them and then used gunpowder to explode them. Actually, gunpowder has become a brand of mine. After these masters’ works are baptized by gunpowder, their brand undergoes a kind of deconstruction.”
“Artistic License: Six Takes on the Guggenheim Collection” is on view through January 12, 2020, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. [Learn more at www.guggenheim...]

A WISE MAN SAID, "ONE MAN'S ART IS ANOTHER MAN'S GARBAGE" IN CHINESE. HOPE THIS ISN'T A TAXPAYER FUNDED ART MUSEUM.

I’m sure the only person who appreciates your opinion on art is yourself.

Yeah, just a shameless bullshitter, that's all.
