In 1966 Alain Kirili studied East Asian calligraphy with the Korean painter Lee Ungno ( 이응노 ) (1904–1989) in Paris . During this time he came into contact with the artists and intellectuals of the literary critical movement around the literary magazine Tel Quel . In particular with Philippe Sollers and Julia Kristeva , with whom he has been friends for many years. In the autumn of 1977 he married the photographer Ariane Lopez-Huici .
