The renowned 1980 artwork \"Father\" by Luo Zhongli has been reimagined as a spectacular larger-than-life sculpture, now proudly displayed at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing. Standing at an impressive 7 meters high and 5 meters wide, the new sculpture took 11 years to complete, showcasing intricate 3D details that honor the original masterpiece.
The sculpture captures the essence of the original painting with its portrayal of a rural man, featuring a wrinkled face, dry lips, and an old bowl. Both the painting and the sculpture serve as poignant symbols of the resilience and tenacity of fathers and the elderly, reflecting deep cultural values and the enduring spirit of the Chinese mainland.
This monumental artwork not only pays tribute to Luo Zhongli's legacy but also bridges traditional art with contemporary expression, offering viewers a tangible connection to the profound themes depicted in the original piece. Visitors to the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute can now experience this powerful representation, which stands as a testament to the enduring impact of art in society.
