An artist crossing many genres, Li Tung works in two- and three-dimensional arts, including painting, visual and installation arts, photography, calligraphy, performing art, impromptu dance, stage design, as well as game and multimedia design and creative writing. Born in Taipei, Li graduated from School of Fine Arts at the National Taiwan University of Arts. After a surprising and alarming turn in his health in his late 30s, Li used his experience to revitalize his works and focused on the human body as the inspiration for his creations. Li’s recent paintings reflect his thorough comprehension of surrealism and Pan-Asian arts. Li writes dialogues with images to tell stories and communicate with others as a published novelist in Taiwan and China. 

He is a member of the “Fifth Moon Group,” Taiwan’s most influential and longstanding artist collective. He has won awards in Taiwan for his art and novels and had his work displayed throughout Vancouver. Li has also performed live painting with improvising musicians and dancers. He is part of the acclaimed MAFIA Ensemble,  the leading force in Taiwan’s experimental and improvisational arts scene, with a particular focus on interdisciplinary practices. He has collaborated with numerous Canadian (NOW Society, Orchid Ensemble, Sammy Chien, Chimeric, Sound of Dragon Society, Paul Plimley), Taiwanese, and Japanese artists and has performed at the Western Front, Sound of Dragon Music Festival, Roundhouse, and Taiwan’s Create Music Festival.
