If you don't already know, Ai Weiwei is probably the most (in)famous contemporary Chinese artist. Having dabbled in sculpture, installation, architecture, curating, and photography amongst others, collaborated with Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron on the Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Olympics, having his installations showcased at the Venice Biennale are just some of his many accolades. His often politically-charged works reflects his harsh criticisms on the Chinese government, which, naturally, did not sit too well with the latter and even saw his arrest on 3rd April 2011 at the Beijing Capital International Airport.
All that aside, Ai Weiwei may have been the most well-known, but there are others who have made a name for themselves in China and around the world. Here are some of our top picks.
