An ancient Chinese sculpture has been given a 21st century twist at a new exhibition hosted by Edinburgh University.

A giant metal warrior from the Terracotta Army has been fitted with a Lego head as part of the show, which features the work of Chinese artists as well as one from each country in the European Union.

Slovenian sculptor Bostjan Drinovec has worked on the figure for the exhibition, which runs until June 30 in the Church Galleries in Summerhall.

First discovered in 1974 in the tomb of the first Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the world-renowned soldiers are being reinterpreted for modern times.

Professor Natascha Gentz said: "It is a powerful demonstration of inspiring artistic collaboration between Europe and China.

"In 1974, the discovery of thousands of terracotta soldiers was hailed as a sensation, and this exhibition is more proof that these life-size figures still fascinate and inspire."
