Question- "From early on, very early on, I understood that art is not about what you say, it's about these other things that you don't say." Use Cai Guo-Quang 's statement to discuss his work and working process.

Answer - His father painted landscapes on matchboxes, he drew them not as he saw them but how he felt they should be seen, how he felt about them. Like when he was a child he went back home to see their hometown and it looked nothing like it. Maybe his father had great memories there and wanted to represent the way he feels about it. It's more how you feel about something, representation. Cai uses this in his art, like the tigers with spears in them. This is not how we normally see tigers, but he is representing pain.
