I had seen this artist before but I fell in love with his work after seeing it in person in Philly. The photo definitely doesn't do his work justice. Guo-Qiang uses gun powder to create his works. He literally blows up his art. Yet the results look amazingly ephemeral and airy and I love it. This work represents a part of a four part series of the seasons. The coloring and the floating quality of this one makes me think of Fall. There was also an installation in the gallery called Fallen Blossoms where he hung a trail of golden leaves about ten feet from the ground. Again, amazingly beautiful. One of my new favorite artists to watch.
