《十八罗汉斗悟空》取材于中国古典名著《西游记》中“齐天大圣”孙悟空大闹天宫、与佛教罗汉斗法的传说故事。这一题材生动地展现了孙悟空桀骜不驯、神通广大的形象，以及十八罗汉各具神通、威仪肃穆的阵势。
“泥人张”艺人将这一场面以彩塑的方式立体再现，构图紧凑，气氛紧张，动静结合，形神俱佳。人物以泥塑手法精细塑造，再以独家调制的天然矿物颜料彩绘，色泽典雅，古韵盎然。
The artwork Eighteen Arhats Battle the Monkey King draws its inspiration from the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West, portraying the legendary tale of the rebellious "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" — Sun Wukong — challenging the authority of the Buddhist arhats. This theme vividly showcases Sun Wukong’s defiant spirit and supernatural abilities, while presenting the Eighteen Arhats in their solemn, majestic, and powerful forms.
Artists of the renowned "Clay Figurines of Zhang" have brought this dramatic scene to life through the traditional art of Chinese colored clay sculpture. The composition is compact and intense, with a harmonious blend of motion and stillness, capturing both the form and spirit of each character. Every figure is meticulously sculpted using refined clay modeling techniques and then hand-painted with uniquely formulated natural mineral pigments, resulting in elegant colors and a rich, classical aesthetic.
