| Mu Boyan plays with the image of overweight sumo wrestlers in his work |
PROCESS 5-2
The sumo sculptures by Chinese artist Mu Boyan are interesting pieces of modern art for a number of reasons. Visually they are as striking as they come, as you’d expect a giant oversize sumo wrestler sculpture to be. But Boyan is engaging with that old East versus West cliche as in China and other parts of the continent, obesity is connected to extravagant wealth.
