All of Xu's works are exhibited outdoors. Starting at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, his exhibition has traveled through several countries, including Australia, France, Italy, UK and Singapore. Wherever his Chubby Women go, a sea of joy and laughter follow as visitors and tourists touch, imitate and take pictures with these happy figures.

Not wanting to show the same old works all the time, Xu is constantly adding new works to create a refreshing new experience for viewers. Following the exhibition around the globe, Xu has absorbed new elements from the countries he visited which he incorporates into his newest art works.

He created chubby women on bicycles and motorbikes after visiting Italy, and created music related works after he visited France.

His work has been well received. In September, the mayor of Montepulciano in Italy awarded Xu with the city's "Golden Eagle Award" to honor his contribution to cultural exchange. While, in Australia the Sydney city government added his work Foreshore Frolics to its collection of art.

Bold but reasonable

Some domestic critics have criticized Xu's Chubby Women sculptures as lacking intellectual depth. Harsh critiques such as these do little to faze Xu as he believes that an artist should create works that possess unique personality and reflect the life and culture of the artist through the use of artistic language that can be understood the world over.

Considering his broad range of interests, Xu believes there are many topics he can incorporate into his work such as sports, music, family, love and other aspects of life. He also tends to inject a certain sense of humor about life into his works.

In the end, when it comes to his particular form of art, he just wants viewers to be able to enjoy the sheer happiness that his sculptures project with their natural and simple language.

To accomplish his goals of bringing happiness wherever his sculptures may go, Xu makes use of a wide variety of materials including marble, copper, wood, jade, glass and steel. Each of which he feels enriches his voluptuous beauties with slightly different temperaments.

Bringing these ladies into contemporary art, Xu uses some new modern sensibilities to represent them: His sculptures are bold without going overboard, exaggerated but not absurd.

    Vice-chairman of Chinese Artists Association Xu Qinsong once commented, "He [Xu] is always remaking himself, seeking innovation and making changes to surprise us."
