Installation Artist

After looking at various Installation artists on my own, I ended up going back to an artist that we looked at in class: Cai Guo-Qiang.


 This piece of art was dynamic because we can see this path that the wolves are all following. The portrayal as a bridge illustrates these wolves in the air, basically flying, which is an unusual thing to see. I believe that it shows the idea of the how all of these wolves are leading the a point, but the outcome of the destination is not peaceful. It made me realize that one should enjoy the journey and not just rush to the ending.
This piece of art is very unique and makes me think of what it is because of its obscurity. It reminds me of a sea urchin that is illuminating with the lights. The arrows used by Cai Guo-Qiang emphasize the contrast of the light and provide an aesthetically pleasing piece.
This piece of art illustrated above  shows the power of light. I really like how these stars of lights are going in different directions, which keep the reader's eyes moving. These firework like lights are the first thing that came to my eye, but then i realized that the lights are coming out of cars and shows almost an explosion of the car. It is a very unique piece that is very hard to interpret the message the author is trying to give off.
This picture above is of a wrecked ship. From the outside, it looks run-down and desolate, but there is truly a multitude of things inside this ship. Even though the ship is run-down, it is still full of riches. This idea brings the beauty out of things that would not generally seem beautiful and shows how even though it is broken down on the outside, it is internally full of valuables.
This picture shows the beauty of lights being illuminated. The color at the tip adds a sense of hope/freedom because it helps light up one's path. Also, the conical shape adds a sense of illusion because it starts at very narrow and ends with a wide area full of light. It shows that the end of the path is something bright to look forward to and that wanting to the end is rewarding when the end is full of lights. Colors, to me, make everything more appealing because different colors evoke different emotions.
