In October 2006, The Houston Museum of Fine Arts, hosted "Red Hot", a look into contemporary Chinese art. Outside the museum laid two of Yue Minjin's sculptures, which is where I first became fascinated with his work. Fast forward 1 year and 8 months to May 2008, I traveled to Beijing, China, with my partner Colt, where we had the incredible opportunity to visit the 798 district. The district is an artist's compound/ collective spanning several city blocks. The majority of the work being produced and on display in the galleries there is Chinese Modern/Pop art. Minjin is one of the several up-and-coming contemporary artists fetching high dollars for their works at auctions. Minjin is well known for his repetitive paintings of smiling men.
