NTCAM Collection: Encounters in Reflection│305│Lee Min-jong│I Walk, Walk, Walk, Then... Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! What a Thrill

Lee Min-jong I Walk, Walk, Walk, Then… Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! What a Thrill Oil on canvas 205x507cm 1987 [The script of this episode] Take a look at Li Ming-jong’s work, I Walk, Walk, Walk, Then… Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! What a Thrill. Just hearing the title makes you curious—what kind of “walk” could this be? Now, start from the right side of the painting and move slowly to the left. As you walk, observe carefully—what creatures do you see? At the center of the composition, a nude woman opens her mouth wide, sticking out a bright red tongue that acts like a dividing line, separating the scene into multiple intricate spaces. Look closely, and you will spot some of Li Ming-jong’s signature elements—“eyes”, distorted human faces, Cats, birds, fish, and many other bizarre beings weave through this vividly colored world. Using graffiti-like strokes, twisting lines, and rough, expressive brushwork, he blends influences from pop music, comics, and video games, creating an intense visual impact. Now, turn your attention to the image beside the artwork label. This is the promotional cover for Lim Giong’s album Entertainment World. At the time, Lim Giong wanted to break away from conventional idol-style album covers and chose Li Ming-jong’s painting instead. The artist’s surreal, fantastical world establishes an intriguing dialogue with the experimental spirit of the album. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NTCAM Collection: Encounters in Reflection Time│2025/04/25-2025/08/17 Venue│NTCAM: 3A, 3B, 4B Gallery Curator│PAI Shih-ming Co-curator│TSOU Ting Artist│Atelier Hui-kan, HSU Yen-ting, HO Chau-chu, YU Chin-chang, WU Tien-chang, WU LI Yu-ge, WU Hao, WU Mali, LEE Min-jong, LEE Yung-two, LEE Tsai-chien, LEE Chung-chung, LEE Quan-pui, LEE Yih-hong, Idas Losin, LIN Chang-hu, Richard LIN, LIN Chuan-chu, YAO Chung-han, SHIH Tsui-feng, HUNG Tung-piao, HUNG Rui-lin, HU Kun-jung, NI Chiang-huai, TANG Tang-fa, HSIA Yi-fu, YUAN Goang-ming, CHANG Chao-tang, TSONG Pu, LIEN Chien-hsing, CHEN Yueh-li, CHEN I-chun, CHEN Chun-hao, CHEN Shun-chu, FU Chuan-fu, Posak Jodian, HUANG Tsai-sung, HUANG Zan-lun, YANG San-lang, YANG Chi-tung, LIU Wen-wei, CHIANG Jui-keng, CHENG Shang-his, DAI Bih-in, LO Cheng-hsien, LO Huei-ming.
