The UAL Hong Kong (UALHK) Alumni Association is currently hosting an exhibition of graduate work at 3812 Gallery in Hong Kong. En Route: UAL HK Alumni Group exhibition will be on display until Friday 17 May 2024.
Over 40 works by 12 artists are on display. The exhibition follows a call out last year. It's been curated by Agnes Wu, from 3812 Gallery, and the UALHK committee.
“The blending of our city's unique cultural fusion has given rise to a vibrant and dynamic art scene that is showcased in this exhibition,” said Agnes.
The works on display showcase the unique artistic vision of Hong Kong. Some are full-time artists, whilst others balance their art practice with other commitments. Their works span a range of mediums and styles, reflecting their individual perspectives and artistic approaches.
