Ai Weiwei is a multitalented artist from China. He is an architect, sculptor, photographer, designer, and activist. Probably the most famous contemporary artist of China, Ai is an active supporter of human rights and is extremely vocal about the matter. Being openly critical about Chinese government's strategies on human rights, he has often found himself in trouble with the government. He has been beaten, arrested, and humiliated by the government. He also had his studio destroyed to stop him from expressing himself, as that is not recognized as a right by the Chinese democracy. He still refuses to back down and fights continuously to protect human rights of the world through art, architectural projects, videos, photographs, and sculptures. A free thinker, Ai has often pointed out the difference between what the Chinese government is and how it claims to be and does not shy away from using social-media channels such as ‘Twitter’ to share his thoughts with the world. One of his top achievements as an artist was his collaboration with Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron for the 2008 ‘Summer Olympics.’ He contributed as an artistic consultant for the ‘Beijing National Stadium.’ His art installation titled ‘Sunflower Seeds’ has been quite popular.
