香港大學美術博物館展覽
1. 探索媒介與圖像主題的回顧展覽 《中西合相——當代圖騰：呂豐雅從藝四十載》

展出日期：即日至3月26日（星期日）

呂豐雅是一位繪圖師、畫家、雕塑家，是香港當代藝術的奠基人之一。他的作品美輪美奐、技藝精湛、異乎尋常，對造型與顏色的應用多年如一。呂豐雅的創作題材很少局限於單一文化，因為他已於周邊世界對自我的國際、多元影響之中，發展出自成一派的圖像語言。對於以不同的方法表現多樣的材料，他早已熟稔於心，這助他反復探求包羅萬象的主題與視覺表現，並應用許多技法，成為大師獨一無二的「藝術圖騰」。從展覽藝術品的尺寸和體積之中，觀者能夠充分體會他對二維藝術和三維藝術的游刃有餘，並精於創造二者之間的對話。
