Lee Ming-Chung is remarkably skilled in weaving dazzling objects laden with everyday experiences into his works.

Having fertile imagination, Lee tends to come up with creative ideas with a sudden flash of genius and transcribe them on the canvas. The elements in the composition resemble odds and ends, yet each is recognizable, and there may even be an occasional touch of humor hidden in the corner. The artist once said that he creates his works like children do, which vividly reflects his understanding of the world.

In [Startled Cat], the attention of the viewer is immediately drawn to a large and glittering eye in the painting. The title of the work, "Startled Cat," focuses on the image, which is mostly filled with a cat's head. Instead of looking startled, the cat seems to be exploring in a curious manner.
