+ OVERVIEW
"Mr. Red" is named after the title of a song by Cui Jian, a rock and roll star. Jiang initially incarnated Mr. Red, his alter-ego, in various cartoon flash images, such as cartoon Mr. Red and aged Mr. Red, which contain the galloping train, long alleys, charming girls, heart-shaped sun and the post-modern scenes created by the classic Super Mario. The prototype of Mr. Red - Flight No.1, the oil painting work, originates from the images in the flash versions.
