Li Hongbo is a current Chinese artist. He is best known for his lifelike paper sculptures, made entirely out of paper and glue. Even thought he is a Chinese artist, his artwork is seen around the world. His artwork is all very interesting and unique but the one that really stood out to me was "Iron for the Ages, Flowers for the Day" done in 2015. The color of the piece is what sparked my interest in this work, but as I looked more into it the meaning goes deeper than that. Each rainbow is made out of paper in the shape of a gun to bring attention towards gun violence. It is meant to bring together the forces of war and peace.
