Xu Hongfei often portray his Chubby Women sculptures as active and in motion. The idea of a woman being beautiful because she is in motion is a fairly new idea. This goes against the female ideal for several decades which was soft, dependent and domesticated. In some sculptures, the artist places his female figure next to structures which imply mechanization and function. Women are shown inside or interacting with structures which by its very nature implies movement, such as wheels, coils, staircases.
