Cai Guo-Qiang is an artist with great vision, a tender heart, and a powerful voice

Ironic that trying to discover immortality, led to the most deaths.

Even creating the art is an art itself.

Yes, it is indeed Neal Evans working as film composer. (Peter Rinker, Azoffmusic is his agent.)

no worries people...the ones who diss Cai and art...are not artist and are fools. Art truly is the expression of the inner soul of the creator...Usually there are meanings...Cai's work is a statement...of violence..how we honor it..but how it is both violent...horrible yet beautiful (why are we awed by fireworks)..the bs about rich is bs..i am an artist ...not rich..I do it for the joy of creating.
