篆刻家李偉生肖屬虎，平生愛虎，自幼感佩虎之不屈精神及其興風(fēng)狂嘯、君臨天下的豪情、霸氣，通過20余年的觀察、描摹，百獸之王的各種動態(tài)、神韻了然于胸，然后用3年時間，完成了金石篆刻百虎圖，以諧音《洪福（紅虎）滿堂》為題，表達“百福臨門”“?；垭p修”的良好愿望，可謂虎韜之絕唱。

李偉1962年生于溫州，號虎威閣主人，性情曠達飛逸，對中國傳統(tǒng)文化感悟頗多，其篆刻作品飄逸大氣，功力深厚。

Probably because he was born in the Year of Tiger， the seal sculptor Li Wei is best known for his lofty and free personality. Tigers are his favorite images for artistic creations. With the experience of observing tigers closely for over 20 years， the experienced engraver spent three years carving 100 tigers in seal script. These tigers suggest a good blessing of 洪福滿堂， as red tigers in Chinese are almost homophones for great fortune (洪福) and 滿堂 means your house will be brimming with all the great fortune coming your way.

Born in 1962 in Wenzhou， a port city in south Zhejiang Province， Li Wei is an artist versed in Chinese culture. His seal works highlight an ebullient style and mastery of various skills.
