🌟 A monumental 3D tribute to one of China’s most iconic artworks is turning heads in Chongqing! The Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has unveiled a jaw-dropping 7-meter sculpture reinterpreting Luo Zhongli’s 1980 oil painting Father, which became a symbol of rural resilience and paternal strength.
⚡️ Eleven years in the making, this colossal version preserves every wrinkle, cracked lip, and weathered detail of the original work’s elderly farmer gripping a rice bowl. Imagine Marvel’s Ant-Man vibes, but for art history buffs! 🎭
📸 Fun fact: Both artworks spark conversations about generational sacrifices—perfect for TikTok deep dives. Art students are already calling it \"the ultimate Father’s Day post.\" 💡
