Explosion of emotion

The typeface itself is pretty everyday serif but its location and the fact that it is flipped around creates the effect of a tornado. I love it because it is so dynamic and it is a perfect example of how an artist can take something (like type) from every day life and make art out of it. There is a distinct focal point in this piece and to me it looks like an epicentre of an explosion. I like how the artist used red color because it works well with the dynamic nature of the image, however, I do question it's placement in the picture.
After exploring Ping Chen's (the artist) website (http://www.pingchendesign.com/btm.html) further I got inspired because his art is very different. It looks like he is not afraid to experiment. To me that is the best way to go about art and it leads to the greatest results. Spontaneous and emotional art will win over technical art in my eyes any day.
