Artist(s): XU Hong Fei
Date: 30 Jul - 18 Aug 2010
On the theme of sports and games, Xu Hongfei's lastest series of sulptures depict a group of emphatically voluptuous women jumping, running and spinning in action. As he demonstrates how heavy masses such as broze sculptures can defy the rules of gravity to appear light and buoyant, these artworks also break the current stereotype that fat people are inactive or lazy, and show an alternative perspective on what is healthy and fit.
