I executed this image based on Ai Wei Wei
from a found photographic image. I painted
him very simply, without detail to suggest his
presence rather than his physical state of being,
making for a far more personal interpretation
of Ai Wei Wei.
I feel that Ai Wei Wei is an increasingly relevant
artist, as he manages to include political and
purely visual elements into his exhibited works.
Living under such an oppressive regime yet still
being willing to be true to himself in his oeuvre,
is a strong example of the necessary role of the
artist in today’s world".
