蔡国强 Cai Guo-Qiang
차이 구어 치앙
(born 1957)
(born 1957)
Chinese contemporary artist
蔡国强은 문화대혁명의 격동기에
청소년기를 보냈어요.
( 文化大革命 . 1966~1976)
문혁세대는 역사적 소용돌이에 휩쓸려
광장집회와 대대적인 시위에 참여했어요.
현장을 뒤덮은 대포와 화염을 목격했기 때문에
폭발과 연기에 익숙해져 있어요.
蔡国强은 화약(gunpowder)이
파괴의 현장뿐 아니라
축복의 현장에도 쓰인다는 사실에
특별한 관심을 기울이게 되었어요.

중국전통예술을 접할수 있었어요.

Gunpowder drawings의
제작과정을 살펴보면,
먼저 바닥에 특별제작된 종이를 깔고
화약 도화선을 배치한뒤
가연성의 가루를 뿌려요.
글자나 모양에 맞춰 오려낸
형판(스텐실)을 이용하면
좀더 명확한 윤곽을 형성할수 있어요.
점화후 폭파한 화약이
분산되어 패턴을 형성하도록
널판지로 위를 덮고
돌맹이로 고정시켜요..
준비를 마치고
한쪽끝에서 향을 피워 점화시키면
요란한 폭발음을 시작으로
화약이 종이틈새로 터져나와요.
