Cai Guo-Qiang was born in 1957 in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China. He attended the Shanghai Drama Institute and is trained in stage design.
His work has, since the outset, been scholarly and often politically charged. He initially began working with gunpowder to foster spontaneity and confront the suppression that he felt from the controlled artistic tradition and social climate in China at the time.
He uses the properties of gunpowder to create outstanding drawings,, exemplified in the series Projects for Extraterrestrials.
