His name is Yue Minjun. He’s even collaborated with Kaws on a vinyl toy.

I’ve seen this artist before. He was featured on “designyoutrust.com”, but that site seems to not be working correctly.
I cannot seem to dig him up through Google, but the paintings I’ve seen are all like this: super-happy Chinese men and reflecting on the fakeness of living in China these days.
Never mind. Yue Minjun: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/13/arts/design/13smil.html?pagewanted=all
Okay. I feel like a fool. But… Thanks!
He featured in a nice exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London recently:
