I always enjoy looking at modern art because I like abstract images and unusual shapes and materials used in the art. I am often amazed by creative minds of artist. When I visited the De Young Museum, I saw an art made with charcoal and wire by Cornelia Parker. I was so impressed with the scale and unique materials used in the art, so I looked up the artist when I came home. She is an English sculptor and installation artist. She engages in intervention with site-specific work, and is best known for large-scale installations such as Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991), where she had a garden shed blown up by the British Army and suspended the fragments as if suspending the explosion process in time. In the centre was a light which cast the shadows of the wood dramatically on the walls of the room. Here are few images of her work.
