Bruce Lee, Angelina Jolie, Stephen Chow hand-painted posters on show in Hong Kong

The image on the wall shows martial arts master Bruce Lee striking a familiar pose. It’s only his hands that look different – they are exaggerated, the eyes are instantly drawn to them.

And that was the artist’s intention.

Lee is one of the many stars captured in a new exhibition by movie-poster artist Yuen Tai-yung. Titled “Glitter, Glitz and Glamour”, the free exhibition at Garden of Stars, on the Tsim Sha Tsui East waterfront, is a tad cheesy, and the major construction work nearby doesn’t help, but for lovers of Yuen’s work it’s worth a visit to get a glimpse of the 24 cari­catures of international and local actors and singers on show.

Joining Lee are Stephen Chow Sing-chi, Tony Leung Chiu-wai and the late Canto-pop stars Anita Mui Yim-fong and Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing, as well as actors Angelina Jolie, Steve McQueen and Marilyn Monroe.

Next to each image is a blurb detailing why Yuen chose that particular person and any personal connection that the artist has had with the star. McQueen, for example, is an idol.
