In a previous work, he placed five mattresses in Piccadilly Circus, offering to pay willing participants a minimum wage to lie down in the heart of central London – something he believes wouldn’t be accepted in China. Before moving to London a year ago, he paid dozens of Chinese farmers to be recorded jumping like frogs in a field.Bloody hell, doesn't this man know how to draw?

Seems rather dilettantish. I know, painting words on a wall is a much superior art form. It actually is. It's direct to the source.
I mean these stickers are rather Warholish in that they can be mass produced. I'll give them that sort of pop communist methodology.
But it sort of destroys the art of painting on a wall if one does it in the comfort of their den.

It's a different way if doing things. Sticker art is often mass produced but the intention is to put little bits of art on the street rather than making a big production of it. I can draw many images and pop them around the place while the Chinese artiste had to get a few friends to help him produce something visually dull and short lived. It's also good to spot pieces of artwork instead of having it stuck up on a wall for everyone to see.

I used to put my own self produced NAZI SCUM stickers over British Movement and National Front posters. One night I was stopped by the police who asked me what I was doing. The policewoman said That's Not Nice after looking at the poster and they allowed to carry on.

So I finally visited the site of all this drama and at the moment much of the wall is taken up with posters for a fashion brand. I stuck three of my stickers onto one of the posters with the knowledge that it will soon be covered up by more advertising or (hopefully) street art. I might pop back and take another picture when the light is better.
