Chinanews, Beijing, Jul. 3 – According to Beijing Daily, Liu Wenliang, an ordinary citizen, has recently established a sculpture-making office at his home. People can find sculptures of Einstein, Elvis Presley and other world celebrities1, although more sculptures than those of common people.

 

“These sculptures are made based on photos provided by my customers, and I can make “you” in a trice,” said Liu. He pointed2 to many sculptures on the table, and our reporter thought they were virtually the images of the persons in the photos.

 

“Last year, one of my friends who worked in a foreign-invested enterprise wanted me to make some sculptures based on the photos he provided, and he said that one such sculpture could sell at 400 yuan,” Liu said.

 

Liu’s shop was opened in Beijing in early April, and his son opened shop selling his father’s sculptures on the website. Liu also revealed that he planned to display his works to the National Folk Art Exhibition that will be held in September.
