Alice Mak & Brian Tse — Statue of McDull

Statue of McDull

2011

This bronze sculpture depicts McDull, a beloved character from Hong Kong popular culture, rendered in a cheerful, rotund form with characteristic large eyes and a gentle smile. Positioned on the waterfront promenade of Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, the golden-hued figure sits with hands raised in a welcoming gesture, embodying warmth and accessibility. The work exemplifies how contemporary public art in Hong Kong bridges fine art with beloved cultural icons, making art participatory and emotionally resonant for diverse audiences. Its reflective bronze surface catches the harbor light while the figure's whimsical proportions and friendly demeanor invite interaction and photography from passersby. The sculpture stands as a testament to the city's creative spirit and its celebration of local artistic traditions alongside international cultural exchange. Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA)
