Gigantic display on culture street

Six giant sculptures by French artist Daniel Daviau are on display on Xiyunlou Cultural Street.

Of the six pieces, the 鈥淗ippo鈥 series of 鈥淗ippopotamus鈥 (2013), 鈥淏arnaby鈥 (2017) and 鈥淭itipo鈥 (2016) are exhibited as a complete series for the first time.

More than 30 other pieces are on show on Hengshan Road in Xuhui District, which review the artist鈥檚 career in the past three decades 鈥 from his early works to the most recent golden snub-nosed monkey specially dedicated to Chinese visitors.

The artist鈥檚 signature style, which integrates the body shapes of different animals, translates his ideas into a gentle and witty expression.

In the autumn, another exhibition with a 鈥淏elt and Road鈥 theme will be held on Xiyunlou Cultural Street, exhibiting traditional intangible cultural heritage including printing, paper-making and straw plaiting. Porcelain, glassware, ambers and jewelry from Ukraine, Japan and China will also be displayed.

The integration of culture and tourism will allow visitors to feel the charm of local culture and improve the popularity and influence of culture in Jiading.
