眼球先生的小宇宙 / Mr. Eyeball’s Colorful Little World
眼球先生是一位跨界藝術家,他身兼了劇場編導、演員、品牌設計師、圖文作家、唱片歌手、藝人造型師、美術設計等身分,所以在文創園區的展覽,聽說有一些藝人已經前來參觀,如張本渝及黃嘉千,不過,當我參觀時,現場只有少數幾位參觀者,他們看起來就是普通人,不像是喬裝打扮的藝人。
其實當提到眼球時,我的第一印象是日本漫畫家水木茂創作的漫畫「鬼太郎」中鬼太郎的父親 - 眼珠老爹 (めだまおやじ),眼珠老爹的外型為一顆眼球下長著人體四肢的小妖怪,知識淵博,不過,最大的興趣是在裝有熱水的碗裡泡澡,仔細看看眼球先生的外型,也是一顆眼珠下長著人體四肢,其實是藝術家本人戴著一顆眼球的全罩式面具。
展覽室的空間不大,然而展示的作品,都是創作者認為值得一看的作品,據我觀察,大多數的作品多帶有鮮豔誇張的色彩,童趣卻又帶點詭異的人物造型,以及華麗中帶有戲謔的構圖,形成一種強烈個人風格,藝術家的作品往往不只是掛在牆上的平面圖像,而是延伸成整體空間的氛圍設計,所以當觀眾走進展場時,像是進入一個色彩飽和、節奏強烈的異想世界。

眼球先生 is a cross-disciplinary artist who has taken on many different roles, including theater director, actor, brand designer, illustrator-writer, singer, stylist, and art designer. That’s why I heard that some celebrities, such as 張本渝 and 黃嘉千, had already visited his exhibition at the cultural and creative park. However, when I went there, there were only a few visitors in the exhibition space, and they all looked like ordinary people rather than celebrities in disguise.
Actually, when I hear the word “eyeball,” my first impression is 眼珠老爹 from 鬼太郎, created by 水木茂. Medama Oyaji is Kitaro’s father, a little yokai shaped like an eyeball with human arms and legs. He is very knowledgeable, but his biggest hobby is soaking in a bowl of hot water like a bath. If you look carefully at Mr. Eyeball’s appearance, it is also basically an eyeball with human limbs — except that in this case, it is actually the artist himself wearing a full-head eyeball mask.
The exhibition room itself was not very large, but the works on display were clearly pieces the artist considered worth showing. From what I observed, most of them used bright and exaggerated colors, playful yet slightly eerie character designs, and dramatic compositions mixed with a sense of humor, creating a very distinctive personal style. His works were not just flat images hanging on the wall; they also extended into the atmosphere of the whole space. So when visitors stepped into the exhibition, it felt like entering a fantasy world filled with saturated colors and strong visual rhythm.
