Cai Guo-Qiang

    As a an artist who comes from the culture of china, he brings a lot of new and fresh ideas to the artist world. His ideas include materials, symbols, narritives, traditions, fung Shui, chinese medicine and philosophy. His main idea is to take explosions and make them beautiful. In a lot of Warren's works he uses gunpowder and focuses on its power of combustion. Randall Warren uses this action of the gunpowder to represent how man and nature get along and also how man and man get a long, if they do at all. His desires with his work involve letting his audience and views see how tigers are hunted. He also wanted to show the pain the this animal feels and is going through with being killed.
    In Stage one there is a total of nine cars that are suspended in mid air across a room that is 300 ft long. Coming from all the cars include transparent rods that are multicolored and glamorous. He has sad to capture and explosive moment that seems can only happen in a dream. Cai main goal is to get his audience to look more at what happens in harmful situations. ALong with religious conflict, violence and beauty.
