7 sculptures of plump women in Bangkok (24 photos)

The figures of these bronze fatties simply radiate joy, happiness, optimism and self-confidence into the surrounding space. And their creator most likely has a good sense of humor, because only a humorist and a merry fellow could put these funny mini dresses on plump women:

It's a pity that the signs placed near the sculptures did not indicate their author - only the name in English and, for some reason, in Chinese.

For example, this bun with a rabbit, which is in the two photos above, is called: "Jade rabbit, bringing blessings":

And this plump little thing with a child and a dog is called "New Favorite":

It turned out that the sculptures were created by the famous Chinese artist Xu Huangfei in an effort to show the prettiness of plump girls. Although he himself turned out to be small and puny:

His exhibition, since 2013, has been held with great success in 53 expositions in 20 national art museums and attractions around the world. And in France, and in Australia, and in Italy, and in England, and in Singapore, and in Turkey, and in America, and in Germany, and in Cuba, and in Japan and in many other countries.

And in Thailand, in collaboration with the ICONSIAM shopping center, the artist organized an exhibition called: "Xu Huangfei's World Sculpture Tour - Thailand: Love in Siam" back in 2023.

True, there were slightly more sculptures in 2023 - twenty-one. Why there are only seven left now, and where the rest went, I was unable to find out - Thai sites did not have such information.

It turned out that the statues were not made of bronze, but of fiberglass-reinforced plastic. But what difference does it make what the masterpiece is made of!

So, the author called the next sculpture "Duet":
