I am really intrigued by Cai Guo-Qiang's work and I was lucky enough to see his exhibit when it was at GOMA. His drawings are particularly interesting because of the materials he uses. Cai is known for large-scale installations and in these works he explores the properties of gunpowder and experiments with explosives. He comments on contemporary social issues and aims to create a dialogue between the viewer and the world around them. The work is created from the destruction of the explosions, but then recreates them into something new and almost eerie and other worldly.
