Caught the recent Ai Wei Wei show at the Royal Academy and it was quite possibly the best show I’ve ever been too, just WOW!
The level of craftsmanship, conceptual language used and overall depth / scale executed by Chinese artist Ai through his works was totally inspiring…
I wasn’t too familiar with Ai’s work and background prior to the show, but have since immersed myself in his world both as artist and activist (and architect), which is both fascinating and revealing, of one man’s quest to create the most truest art, by any means necessary!…
Went to Guangzhou, the third largest city in China, randomly with my mate Kate a while back…literally one of them spur of the moment things, no plan, just BLAM! It turned out to be a pretty cool trip, kinda hot when we went around early September, which I didn’t expect, one of them stick icky ones…defo a culture shock coming from LDN, but always one to be open to new experiences…
The area we were staying was mad built up with peeps (FACT: apparently there’s more than 15million peeps alone in Guangzhou which is now about to merge with eight other cities to create a metropolis twice the size of Wales with a population of 42 million, creating the world’s biggest mega city)
