Âþ®‹¼Ò:LI CHI TAK ÀûÖ¾ß_¡°There is no need to differentiate alternative comics from commercial comics, for the so-called ¡®alternative¡¯ is just another side of the commercial. Comics is at the same time a form of art.¡±Li began his career in the comics industry in 1982. After working for a corporate comics publisher in Hong Kong for a month, he decided to start his own venture as a freelancer. Following on from the release of The Wisely series, he self-published Tong Men Shao Nian, a prominent title which rocketed him to fame in 1987. He has since developed a distinctive art style, creating his own visual world with eerily experimental works that broke genre rules.
Black Mask, Assassins, Tien Yao Ji, Superbaby, Little Strawberry, and K are major works that he created in the early stage of his career. Selected publications from this decade include The Voyager, The Lover, and Folio, Little Circle, Vicious and Solar Eclipse.Li¡¯s transmedia creations transcend the boundary of comics and expand into movies, experimental theatres, literature, pop music and sculptures. His idiosyncratic style has attracted the attention and commissions from local and international brands such as Nike, New Balance, IdN, Uniqlo, Starbucks and Hong Kong International Airport.Li is also well-known to the international comics scene. His comics has been published in places like Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Mainland China, France and Italy since the 90s.
In 2016, the Hong Kong Arts Centre had jointly curated Li¡¯s solo exhibition with the Angoul¨ºme International Comics Festival in France as one of the Festival¡¯s thematic exhibitions. His French comics The Beast, a collaborative project with the famous Belgian writer Jean Dufaux, was released at the same time. This solo exhibition had given birth to another international cooperation opportunity. Li was invited by the Louvre Museum to create a new comics Moon of the Moon. The French version has been released in November 2019 in Europe, with a Hong Kong Chinese version keenly in preparation by local publisher, Today Publications.

" Nul besoin d¡¯opposer la BD ind¨¦pendante ¨¤ la BD commerciale. D¡¯une part, l¡¯« ind¨¦pendant » n¡¯est qu¡¯une cat¨¦gorie de l¡¯offre ; d¡¯autre part, la bande dessin¨¦e a tout ¨¤ fait sa place dans le panth¨¦on des arts. "Li entame sa carri¨¨re de b¨¦d¨¦iste en 1982 en int¨¦grant une grande maison d¡¯¨¦dition de BD hongkongaise, avant de devenir artiste ind¨¦pendant un mois plus tard. Dessinateur pour la s¨¦rie polar populaire The Wisely, il publie en 1987 Tong Men Shao Nian, un recueil de one-shots qui le rend c¨¦l¨¨bre. ¨¤ l¡¯instar de celui-ci, Li cultive un style distinctif en batissant un univers visuel inqui¨¦tant et exp¨¦rimental qui transgresse les conventions de genre.
Plusieurs œuvres marquent le d¨¦but de sa carri¨¨re, telles que Black Mask, Assassins, Tien Yao Ji, Superbaby, Little Strawberry et K. Et parmi ses cr¨¦ations plus r¨¦centes comptent The Voyager, The Lover, Folio, Little Circle, Vicious, Solar Eclipse.Au-del¨¤ de la bande dessin¨¦e, Li laisse ¨¦galement ses empreintes dans de nombreux projets et domaines artistiques : cin¨¦ma, th¨¦atre exp¨¦rimental, litt¨¦rature, musique pop, architecture, etc. Son style singulier attire ¨¦galement les propositions de collaboration des grandes marques internationales telles que Nike, New Balance, IdN, Uniqlo, Starbucks et A¨¦roport international de Hong Kong.
Li est un des b¨¦d¨¦istes hongkongais les plus appr¨¦ci¨¦s ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦tranger. Depuis les ann¨¦es 1990, ses œuvres sont traduites et publi¨¦es au Japon (chez Kodansha et Sh¨gakukan), ¨¤ Taïwan, en Malaisie, en Chine populaire, en France et en Italie.En 2016, le Centre d¡¯arts de Hong Kong s¡¯associe avec le Festival international de la bande dessin¨¦e d¡¯Angoul¨¨me pour monter une r¨¦trospective de Li. ¨¤ cette occasion sort sa BD The Beast, fruit d¡¯une collaboration entre Li et le sc¨¦nariste belge Jean Dufaux. Son exposition solo donne d¡¯ailleurs lieu ¨¤ une nouvelle collaboration internationale, cette fois-ci avec le Mus¨¦e du Louvre. Moon of the Moon, l¡¯œuvre issue de cette collaboration paraît en Europe en novembre 2019 et la version chinoise sortira prochainement ¨¤ Hong Kong.
