Fri, 27 May 2011 12:10:13 +0200 (Reuters) - An installation by artist Ducky Tak showing the portrait of detained Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, is seen on display at the "Love the Future" exhibition in Hong Kong May 27, 2011. The Chinese character reads: "road". While China's artists have largely been silenced over the plight of Ai, who was detained by authorities in April for evading a "huge amount" of taxes amid a clampdown on dissent, a tenacious and angry band of young artists in Hong Kong have emerged as a major force rallying to Ai's cause. Ai may be languishing in Chinese detention, but the influence of the prominent artist and social activist has permeated Hong Kong's burgeoning art scene, from glitzy art fairs to edgy street art.
