Tangshan (China) (AFP) - Emerging from the acrid fumes at a steelworks, artist Liu Bolin inspects the progress of his latest work -- a giant iron fist, poised to punch a hole through modern China. Weighing more than seven tonnes and 3.6 metres (12 feet) tall, the sculpture will go on show in Paris later this month, as Chinese President Xi Jinping visits the country. & quot;The inspiration for my & #039;Iron Fist & #039; comes from my reflections on the realities of China, & quot; Liu told AFP. Liu is best known globally for his & quot;Invisible Man & quot; photographs, in which he is meticulously made up and his clothes daubed in camouflage paint so that he blends almost seamlessly into everyday backgrounds, from supermarket shelves and magazine racks to bulldozers.
