Hello every one!

It's embarrassing, actually I didn't know about him.

Before watching his video, I thought he is normal man.

But now I could understand what he want to do.

He want to change the government and sometimes he brought back it.

I chose the one piece of arts about his artworks.

It is named Urn With Coca-Cola Logo 1994

It showed the uncomfortable collision of an ancient culture with global capital.

A shock effect is created by the big bold Coca Cola logo slapped onto a 2000 years old urn.

The reason I chose this one that because personality I like the collaborate artwork such as past and present.

And he wanted to tell us "The reform and succession of tradition".

As you know, Warhol used Coca-Cola for the motif is that to symbolize the capitalist societies in America.

It recent years it might be call to symbolize of the globalization.

But now Coke's consumption of Chine is No.4 in the world.

Finally, for him art is not just watching thing it has a lot of meaning such as counterargument for the society and government.

I think art has a lot of meaning each artist, this time he mean that opposition to the Chinese government.

I'm Japanese so it is hard to understand about another government but I have Chinese friend,

that's why  I could ask about that.

It was good chance to know the Chinese government, famous artist called Ai and his work.
