The International Manga <a href="https://comicvibe.com/eric-canete-the-new-artist-on-the-transformers-monthly-comic/” title=”Eric Canete, The New Artist On The Transformers Monthly Comic?”>Artists’ Exhibition Macau 2026 opened on Friday at the Activity Room of Flower City Park in Taipa, bringing together more than 30 works by comic artists from Macau, mainland China and overseas.
Manga is an umbrella term for a wide variety of comic books and graphic novels originally created and published in Japan.
Organised by the Association of Promoting Macau Comics and Animation Cultural Exchange (APMCACE) and sponsored by the Cultural Development Fund (FDC), the exhibition runs until next Tuesday.
The exhibition features works by artists including Chen Wei from the Chinese mainland, Alexis Bacci from France, Japan-based Misu Yamaneko, Hiroshi Kanatani from Japan, and Hong Kong comic artist Leung Wai Ka.
During a speaking session at the China Dragon Hotel on Avenida da Praia Grande yesterday, Bacci demonstrated his techniques and introduced his recent work “Possessions”, which he said made him think of his father. Chen discussed incorporating AI into his creative process, suggesting that AI should serve as an assistant rather than dominate the work.
Leung introduced his new book “Drawing Spirit”, which follows a young person seeking to overcome a series of difficult experiences. The project was supported by the Hong Kong Comics Supporting Programme (HKCSP) and was created with his son, who wrote the script while Leung served as illustrator.
The exhibition aims to provide opportunities for local and international comic artists to exchange creative experiences and techniques, while giving local and young creators a platform to present their work, according to a statement by the organisers yesterday. The statement said that the initiative also seeks to promote Macau as a platform for international cultural exchange and encourage local artists to explore new ideas and technologies.
Stay tuned for an upcoming Page 4.
