Xiaoze Xie. Here's another artist. (Cool name, too.) More images here.

This is a good insight:

"When I was in China, my fellow students and I felt that art should be for art's sake," Mr. Xie said. "We'd seen a lot of bad critical art for so long. Now I've changed my theory on that. Art should carry some message. But, of course, it has to be beautiful, too."
