ARX LEE whose Chinese name is Li Chaoxiong was born in 1978 in Zhongshan, a city of Guangdong province, near Hong-Kong. The artist now lives and works in Guangzhou. He graduated from the Guangzhou Arts Academy and his natural love for cartoons encouraged him to found a Comic Studio and also to start a short career as an illustrator.

The information conveyed by cartoon works significantly influenced his world view and he carried out his creations in cartoon form for more than ten years after graduation. It was consistent with his heart and in line with the themes he wanted to express.

His latest series is about a little boy with closed eyes, called Bumi, which means earth in Sanskrit. Bumi is a “walker” in pursuit of study and truth. This phase is the perfect example of the artist’s method which becomes a real journey to the soul.
