An award-winning artist is hosting his first exhibition in his home city for more than 10 years.
Joe Fan’s work has gone on display around the world since he graduated from Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen with a first class honours degree in fine art in 1988.
But now it is on show at the Robert Gordon University, in his Granite City exhibition in more than a decade.
The exclusive Studio Now and Then exhibition, organised and selected by RGU Art and Heritage, is on display in the Sir Ian Wood building at Garthdee until January 22.
After finishing university, Mr Fan was awarded the Miller Homes Young Scottish Artist of the Year prize which allowed him to spend a year in Paris honing his skills.
He then returned to Aberdeen to lecture in drawing and painting at Gray’s before leaving in 1997 to become a full-time artist.
Since then, his art has been displayed around the world and he was elected a Royal Scottish Academy Academician in 2003.
Mr Fan, who is originally from Hong Kong, said he was delighted his work was now on show in his home city.
“Working with RGU Art and Heritage, we have selected work spanning many years and this will give the visitors an opportunity to see a variety of my drawings and paintings from different stages in my career,” he said.
“It is great to be back at RGU, giving something back after all these years.
“When I first began at Gray’s back in the 80s, I could only have dreamed for the career I have had and the opportunities my art has given me.”
