I often see this strange graffiti on the road, because I have seen it too many times, and once I saw the construction wall, so I made a post on IG to ask everyone who has seen this graffiti, but many people have seen it, one of them My friend also told me that his name is Dachangwang. Driven by curiosity, he checked the "Dachangwang" before knowing the story of this graffiti artist.

Who is the king of the large intestine?

I lived in Atlanta in high school, and studied art in Texas at university. After graduation, I returned to Taiwan at the age of 25. Now, 10 years have passed, but I still don’t feel a little bit of ABC in my body. be transformed.”

"The reason why it's called the King of Intestines is because many artists claim to be mentally ill, like Yayoi Kusama who has hallucinations and needs to be admitted to a mental hospital. If an artist has to be sick, then I will define myself as: Irritable bowel artist (true yes).”

Think about the grass-roots nature of Taiwanese art and what can represent Taiwan. After years of digging into his favorite hip-hop music, American subculture and Taiwanese childhood memories, what he realized was the large intestine?

"So the body of the baby colon is the one-year-old me (the colon king)."

At that time, for the graffiti that appeared on the street, he found that everyone just wanted to draw cool or cute patterns. Not sure if it was because of irritable bowel syndrome or because of the artist's natural rebelliousness, the king of large intestine wanted to draw something very "inside", The theme of "can't see", "To paint the most in-depth things, what I thought of at the time was to paint organs."

It was not until the end of 2015 that the baby who was seen on the street was finally born. "The original idea of drawing a baby was to return to the basics, simplify the complex, and make things that were once very complicated simple. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can keep the heart of a child. There are many simple things in life, but they are actually more complicated than complex ones. Things have more power," said the King of Intestines.

"I think the large intestine is some kind of Taiwanese product. When I came back from the United States ten years ago, I was thinking about what Taiwan's representative products are in the world. I thought that Taiwan's semiconductor foundries are very strong, but I can't draw a laptop baby. Wafer baby, right? I'm not interested, so let's start with food."

"I hope that in the future, the large intestine baby may also become a graffiti symbol representing Taipei and Taiwan."

My thoughts on baby colon king

My friend's friend doesn't like King Colon because he used to doodle on other people's work trucks, which affected his business. As for myself, I originally thought that this graffiti was full of weird and ugly, but after reading the story of the king of large intestines, I fully agreed with the idea of drawing the baby of the king of large intestines, making complicated things simple. When Wang paints, he chooses places where you can see Taiwan, so that the world can see Taiwan. Now I feel that King of the Big Intestine is not a kid who doodles casually, but an artist with a brain, and he also loves Taiwan. Let me decide Write an article to let everyone know him.

I hope that after this introduction, you can change your view of this ugly and weird graffiti artist, but I still hope that when he graffiti, he will consider whether it will cause inconvenience to others, so as not to be hated.
