"Chubby Women" Exhibited in Paris
The solo exhibition of China’s famous sculptor Xu Hongfei opened in Paris on February 18, 2008. The exhibition will last for one month. The exhibit includes 26 pieces of the recent “Chubby Women” sculpture series by Xu Hongfei.
Before Xu left for Paris, Huang Yongyu, the Chinese painting guru, wrote an interesting forward for the coming exhibition: “People say women are like the sun to men, and now Xu Hongfei is leaving for Paris with his chubby suns.”
Riding bicycles, scratching itch, walking with a dog, strolling in a breeze… the 26 chubby women Xu sculpted are all charming and varied in stance, and are attracting large audiences. One of the largest works Embracing Breeze, two meters wide and one meter high, features a sculpted woman riding
a real bicycle.
Xu Hongfei was born in Guangdong in 1963 and graduated from the Quangzhou Art Institute with a major in Sculpture in 1990. He is currently the Vice chancellor of Guangzhou Sculpture institute.
Xu Hongfei believes that “art should be fun and amusing.” He combined traditional and contemporary spirit into a new series of sculptures with “Chubby Women.” He believes each person has the right to enjoy one’s body and be self-confident. Xu enjoys expressing the beauty and suppleness
of fat and admires the energy of weight.
