Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is not one to stay quiet. Following a three-month prison sentence earlier this year after the government accused him of tax evasion and spreading "pornography," Ai ignored an order to stay quiet by tweeting out the Chinese phrase for "What's up?" upon his release. His willingness to continue speaking out, despite pressure from the Chinese government, earned him a spot (18) on the FP 2011 Top 100 Global Thinkers. FP contributing editor Christina Larson stopped by his quirky Beijing studio earlier this year, where Ai continues producing revolutionary work that recently won him the title of "most important artist" on Earth.

Ai holds one of the twenty-some cats that roam his property. As part of the conditions of his release, the artist cannot give formal interviews. As Larson writes, "He was not allowed to discuss censorship or human rights in China, what happened to him during his detention, or broader questions about China's future. So instead, we chatted about art and cats."
Inside Ai's private studio. The complex contains both his studio and home, and is located in Bejing's Caochangdi village. 
The dissident artist often takes informal portraits via his iPhone of the photographers that come to document his life and work.
In the far corner of his main studio, a photo of Weiwei holding up his middle finger in front of the White House leans against the white-washed walls.The photo was taken in 1995 as part of his "Study in Prespective" series. 
A four-letter word decorates one of the brick walls of his courtyard.
Ai poses amid one of his contemporary art pieces.
Ai holds one of his cats. Larson writes, "The white cat, which he scoops up to scratch behind its ears, is 12 or 13 years old -- well into feline middle age; it moves with a slight jerk in its step, but Ai says it is one of his favorites."
