Fifteen statues made by the Chinese artist Xu Hongfei will decorate Pier I of Thessaloniki port in northern Greece between December 17 and December 24, as part of Culture Week and a worldwide tour of the artist’s sculpture exhibition, which will begin in Thessaloniki, ANA reports.
The initiative for organising Culture Week was undertaken by the Union of Chinese Traders in Greece. The artist, along with the mayor of Guangzhou city – the second largest city in the planet with a population exceeding 26.5 million residents – will visit Thessaloniki during that period.
Xu Hongfei is the head of the sculpture academy in Guangzhou. He has exhibited his works, among others, in Australia, the United States, Italy, France, Germany, Turkey, Peru and Colombia, while the most representative element of his work is his exploration of the female figure.
