Innovative and Influential Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei

I completely missed the work of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei when it was exhibited at London’s Albion Gallery last November. Photographs of his pieces suggest that a real life experience would be better.

Never mind - Ai Weiwei’s work can be seen on his website at www.aiweiwei.com

Chinese artist and intellectual Ai Weiwei. One of the most outspoken artists in China and known throughout the world, Ai Weiwei works across a wide range of practices, encompassing installation, sculpture, photography, video and architecture.

For the past 15 years, he has consistently been one of the most innovative figures in China’s art world. Through not just his own artistic production, but also via his curatorial and editorial work, his own blog and under his design company, FAKE Design, he is one of the most influential artists currently working in China.

Definitely a guy to look up to.
