The artist was invited by Pompidou Centre to create work for an art exchange program. While exploring the area outside of the museum, the artist noticed there were many Chinese street portrait artists. Yan Lei decided to photograph the artists and to transfer the image onto canvas. The artist wanted to ask the question: what is art? But also to raise the related question of the wall that denies these artists an opportunity to show their work inside the art centre.
