Old Play

By Wong Yoon Wee Chalmers

Inspired by his mother’s collection of childhood toys, Chalmers depicts the nostalgic paper ball, tin pecking roosters, and Jianzi. Noticing a similar colour scheme across the toys, the artist contrasts the forest green, deep red and bright yellow of the toys against the dreamy pastel background, inviting viewers to reminisce about the past where simple toys brought them delight.
