  Asia Society Gala

  Biltmore Hotel, Los Angeles, CA

Yao waw introduced by future NBA Hall of Famer and current L.A. Lakers star, Steve Nash. The M.C was be television journalist/ personality, Lisa Ling. Greg painted a 6 foot portrait of the honoree, Yao Ming and amazed the audience by painting it upside down and then flipping it over to reveal the image of Yao Ming. When asked what he thought of the painting, the always humble Yao Ming responded “too handsome”. Greg’s performance painting of Yao was then auctioned for several thousand dollars.
