經過三年的沉澱,黑雞先生Mr.OGAY即將於新苑藝術舉辦睽違已久的個展《頑皮世界》,展期於2020年3月14日至4月17日,並於3月14日下午三點舉辦開幕派對。號稱「台灣塗鴉界被檢舉最多次」的黑雞先生Mr.OGAY作為台灣著名的街頭藝術創作者,畫筆下的角色「阿肥」藏身台灣大小城鄉的角落,鮮豔的用色與浮誇的姿態令人印象深刻,乘載著黑雞先生Mr.OGAY對生態環境的觀察、對社會議題的發聲、對體制的反彈諷刺,用藝術家的方式來述說故事,反轉人們日常所見的景象,進而引導人們省思「自身觀看世界的方式」。
過去三年,黑雞先生經歷人生重要階段的發展,初為人夫與人父的與角色轉變使他更加體會生命的珍貴及脆弱,看著愛女成長的喜悅與對未來的擔憂緊緊相連,身為父親,他希望自己能夠為孩子化解世界上許多的負面能量與惡意,而身為藝術家,他更希望能運用畫筆的力量創造一些改變,因此三年後的個展圍繞著黑雞先生「想帶給女兒什麼樣的世界」做為中心理念,從探討政治議題到對生活的想像,題材包羅萬象,以童趣的卡通畫面結合育兒心得與生活所感,令人莞爾的同時也深刻感受黑雞先生對孩子及生活的滿溢的愛。而系列作品《Women are Heroes》挪用了許多知名圖像符碼來歌頌女性的偉大和辛勞,眾多令人熟悉的場景和人物都使人會心一笑,不禁佩服黑雞先生那惡搞無極限的創意和想像力。
黑雞先生自2000年起展開塗鴉創作,筆下多以衣不蔽體的裸男為主,至今作品遍佈各國,曾受邀前往日本、中國、紐約、加拿大、泰國、尼泊爾等地進行塗鴉創作,幽默詭譎的獨特創作語彙以及探討時下議題的手法,廣受當代藝術圈的喜愛。

展覽起源於2018年初喜得千金、在撫養過程中體會到生命的可貴及脆弱,喜悅的同時也對孩子的未來感到擔憂,人心險惡、生態浩劫、政治紛擾…讓這個世界充滿了許多負面能量,身為父親,自認有教育下一代的義務,而身為藝術家,擅長用藝術的方式來說故事,讓人們瞭解這個世界的真相。
在本次展覽中,我捨棄了艱澀深奧的論述,沒有太多偉大的憂患情操、沒有太多議題的辯證探討,只想以熟悉的風格及技法來描繪初為人父的心情及對這個社會的期待,以幽默的手法介紹我們的世界給自己的女兒認識,同時也運用了育兒過程中會接觸到的諸多事物並將之轉化為逗趣晚莞爾且令人省思的畫面。
系列作品《Women are Heroes》挪用了許多知名圖像符碼來歌頌女性的偉大和辛勞,眾多令人熟悉的場景和人物都能讓人會心一笑。而翻玩幼童視覺圖卡所創作的小尺幅系列作品,不禁令人佩服那惡搞無極限的創意和想像力。
《頑皮世界》題材包羅萬象,從探討政治議題到對生活的想像,在在都顯示出我對於「自己想帶給女兒什麼樣的世界」盡了相當大的心力,藉由作品由淺入深的引導人們瞭解這個世界運作的規則及不合理之處,也希望在幽默之餘能令觀者思考自身「觀看世界的方式」。
The exhibition originated from having my daughter in the beginning of 2018. I realized that life is precious and fragile in the process of taking care of her. I felt not only joy but also anxious about the future of children. The world was full of negative energy such as the evil of men, the ecological catastrophe, and the political chaos. As a father, I feel that I have the responsibility to educate the next generation, and also, as an artist, I was good at telling story through my art so that people can see the truth in some part of this world.
In this exhibition, I no longer use hard words and complicated discourse, and there are not many great sense of worry and discussion of serious issues. I just want to use my familiar style of painting to depict my story of being a father for the first time and my expectation to the world. I hope to introduce the world to my daughter with my sense of humor. At the same time, I learn many things in the process of raising a child and then transform them into interesting pictures which make people reflect on themselves.
The new series “Women are Heroes” appropriates many well-known images and codes to praise the greatness and hard work of women. I hope the familiar characters and scenes could bring people laugh and smile. In addition, I also sampled the baby visual cards into new series small size artworks, which brings up the unlimited creativity and fun.
The content of 《Naughty World》is various from the political issue to the imagination of life, which reveals how great of strength I’ve put in this exhibition, so that I can show the ideal world in my mind to my little daughter. I hope to lead people to comprehend how the world works and how unreasonable it is with my humorous artworks, and then, they can further think about “the usual way they see the world”.
