Whitworth - Cai Guo- Qiang.

My favourite piece in the exhibition was Cai Guo-Qiangs' piece Fire and Water was breath taking it felt like you were in the mountains. I love how serene and peaceful the scene was but since reading about the way Cai Guo-Qiang created this beautiful piece contradicts the calm atmosphere as he uses gunpowder, scorches and burn marks. He recreates the fragile and delicate effects achieved with ink by classical Chinese painters.
