| "COMRADE AI WEIWEI IN THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON"
Ai Weiwei is a Chinese contemporary artist known for his political
activitism. He has openly criticized the Chinese government and its
stance for human rights and has been apprehended and jailed in Beijing.
Charlie
sees Ai Weiwei as icon for his radical thinking. In his painting, he
depicts the Chinese artist as a brave and courageous individual. Ai
Weiwei's hair is as fiery as his ideas. His bright red beard is like the
fire that comes out of a Dragon's mouth. His eyes are like white
pearls against a black background, Charlie's interpretation that Ai
Weiwei's views are only either black or white, and no grey areas.
