The Man, Ai Weiwei

Ai Weiwei is an absolute legend. He is one of my favourite artists, and people in general. His work is raw and elevated, and undeniably profound. His involvement in social and political activism in China has generated a lot of controversy. His story is incredible. Check him out, I'll post more about his story, along with some videos hopefully soon also.
