After a three-year gap, Xu Hongfei, a famous sculptor from Guangdong Province, started his exhibition world tour again.

On June 17th, the curtain of "Summer in Bangkok - Xu Hongfei's Sculpture World Tour to Bangkok" rose in Rama Ⅷ Park, Thailand.

Nine extraordinary works carefully selected by the sculptor are exhibited, including his iconic work Kiss, the works related to music—Cantonese Rhythm and Instrumental Duet, the works praising mother's love—New Favorite and Enjoyful by Children, the work expressing people's longing for a better life—Facing the Wind, the work depicting the countryside—Raindrops Beating on Banana Leaves, as well as the work marking the Chinese new year of rabbit—Rabbit's Blessing.

"Each exhibition will contain a new work of mine," said Xu, who has created a Thai-style work, Fatna Lisa, especially for this exhibition. The work shows a "fat woman", dressed in traditional clothes of northern Thailand with a hand-made oiled paper umbrella of Chiang Mai in hand, walking in an elegant demeanor. With the sun shining on the land of Thailand, her gracefulness blends together with the warm and passionate atmosphere.

"I hope that with the power of love, joy, and humor, I can unfold before more overseas audiences' eyes the charm and spirit of contemporary China and its artworks," said Xu Hongfei. He also expressed his expectation that the exhibition will not only serve as an art exchange, but also as a booster for the development of China-Thailand relations. It will enrich the cultural and art exchanges between the two countries while also narrowing the mental distance between the two peoples. "Hopefully, people can resonate with each other with the power of art."

雕塑家许鸿飞重启世界巡展

暌违三年，广东雕塑家许鸿飞重启世界巡展。

6月17日，《曼谷的夏天——许鸿飞雕塑世界巡展·曼谷站》在泰国拉玛八世王公园开幕。

展览展出雕塑家许鸿飞先生精心挑选的9件优秀作品，其中包括代表作《吻》、音乐题材作品《粤韵悠悠》《二重奏》、母爱题材作品《新宠》《童趣》、表达人民对美好生活向往的作品《迎风》、描绘乡间野趣的作品《雨打芭蕉》，以及2023癸卯兔年贺岁佳作《玉兔送福》。

“我的每一次展览，都有新作品。”许鸿飞说，他为本次展览特别创作了泰国风情作品《肥娜丽莎》。憨态可掬的“肥女”，换上了泰北传统傣装，手持清迈传统手工油纸伞，款款走来，造型焕然一新，尽显温婉优雅。盛夏的阳光洒在泰国的大地上，与“肥女”的气息融为一体，营造出一片温暖热情的氛围。

“我希望以爱、快乐与幽默的力量，让更多海外观众感受到当代中国与中国艺术的时代面貌与精神。”许鸿飞期待，此次展览不仅是一场艺术交流，更是中泰两国友谊的延续和深化，不仅能丰富中泰两国文化艺术的交流，更拉近了两国人民的心灵距离。“通过艺术的力量，人们的心灵得以沟通、交流和共鸣。”
