The Shanghai Art Fair a part of the Shanghai International Art Festival will open in China on the 8th of September 2010. A large bronze sculptor of MGK by the famous Australian sculptor Cherina will be exhibited in front of the of the northern gate of ShanghaiMART
Reports say “MKG blesses the Shanghai Art Fair, a beautiful and harmonious "art carnival", and Shanghai Art Fair makes holy salutation to this great figure that changed the world.”
The sculptor is 2.2m high and weighs One ton
Cherina has used the Roden touch in modelling, creating only with his thumb and fingers, no tools. Minimizing the physical elements of expression by putting accent on muscles rather than bones, he has simplified the head-form to the maximum and extorted facial expression thereby giving it life to the Sculptor. The result is a historic work of fine art, sculpture.
Cherina expressed that it was difficult task to come up with unique and original idea of expressing greatness, kindness, philosophy, humanity and great many other virtues that Gandhi had; in one work of art, sculpture, but he hopes that the physical expression of Mahatma Gandhi can be transferred into psychological portrait of the Man.
