黑雞先生是來自台灣的街頭藝術創作者，自詡為充滿愛的憤怒青年，喜愛旅行至世界各地進行塗鴉創作，筆下多以衣不蔽體的裸男為主，2000 年接觸塗鴉藝術至今，作品遍佈各地，也因此成為台灣塗鴉史上被民眾檢舉次數最多的藝術家。

黑雞先生認為，創作是一種誠實面對自我的方式，基於對這片土地的關懷，作品中處處可見針對時事的強力批判，直接、不做作、言詞犀利卻又令人難以反駁，以幽默的手法來喚醒人們心中對慾望的渴求及尊重，及對世俗虛假偽善的道德觀作出一番嘲諷，將“醜陋”視為語彙，發展出屬於自身的一套創作模式，並藉由作品重新詮釋與體制、社會議題、人與環境的相互關係，試圖顛覆人的既有價值觀， 排除外在表象，從另一角度來思索人事物的內在本質。 

展覽名稱「壞品味」諷刺當代許多藝術展覽充滿精英感，彷彿踏進展場的那一刻身份地位就與眾不同、品味也高人一等，藝術家的創作手法與媒材也要符合上流社會收藏家的標準才夠格稱為”藝術品”。 在這次展覽中，黑雞先生將近年來較具代表性的作品，透過畫布與現場塗鴉的方式作連結，搭配現地製作的奇妙裝置讓觀者感受到黑雞先生那充滿活力、嘲諷滿點的創作語彙。

Mr. OGAY is a Taiwan street artist who calls himself an angry youth filled with love. He enjoys traveling around the world to create graffiti art, often featuring scantily clad or nude men. Since encountering graffiti art in 2000, his works have spread widely, making him the most reported artist in Taiwan's graffiti history.

Mr. OGAY believes that creation is a way to honestly face oneself. Based on his  concern for this land, his works are often filled with powerful critiques of current events. His style is direct, unpretentious, and sharply critical yet difficult to refute. Using humor, he aims to awaken people's desires and respect and to satirize the hypocritical moral standards of the world. By treating "ugliness" as vocabulary, he has developed his own unique creative mode, reinterpreting the relationship between systems, social issues, people, and the environment through his works. He attempts to subvert existing values, stripping away external appearances to contemplate the inner essence of people and things from another perspective.

The exhibition titled "Bad Taste" satirizes the elitism present in many contemporary art exhibitions, where entering the exhibition space seemingly elevates one's status and taste. Artworks are expected to meet the standards of collectors to be considered true "art." In this exhibition, Mr. OGAY connects some of his most representative works from recent years through canvases and on-site graffiti, complemented by unique installations created on-site. This allows viewers to experience the energetic and satirical creative language of Mr. OGAY.
