- Huang Yongyu at 80:
An Art Exhibition
(24 Dec 2004 - 28 Mar
2005)
|
Combining
traditional
methods with
Western oil
painting
techniques to
create a
completely new
effect, Huang
Yongyu gained an
international
reputation as a
pioneer in the
reformation of
Chinese
painting.
Although Huang
once indicated
that he likes to
reflect on the
past moments of
his life, he has
also stated that
he has no
interest in
organizing
retrospective
exhibitions of
his art. So this
exhibition
showcases
Huang's recent
works: most of
the
approximately
eighty works
selected for the
exhibition have
been produced in
the last few
years, revealing
that, even at
the age of
eighty, Huang is
still actively
exploring the
world of
artistic
creation.

n the afternoon of 12th
March 2005, we organised
an art appreciation tour
to Huang Yongyu's
Exhibition at the Hong
Kong Museum of Art. The
rainy and cold
weather could not dampen
the enthusiasm of the
thirty-three Warwick alumni
and friends on the
event. Macro Szeto, an
acute artist and
professional curator,
guided us through
Huang¡¦s works with his
profound knowledge in
Chinese art and witty
remarks.
Marco started by sharing
with us the challenges
the museum had to
handle in
the preparation and
delivery
of Huang's oversize
paintings. As we began
to tour around the
exhibition, Marco's talk
attracted many others
who were in the
exhibition hall. As we
went, our group size was
more than doubled. At
one point, more than 80
people were following
Marco amidst Huang's
breathtaking works! We
would like to thank
Marco for his time and
effort. The event would
not be so successful
without him.
