Classic vintage toys appear throughout Pitch Tangpun's body of work. The objects are rendered with a timeworn, ambient glow. Drawing inspiration from old toys that his father had bought for him as a child, he developed a special technique whereby iconic images of toys were intricately painted on a bed of tiled square brass plates, complemented with intricate silk-screens of images from his childhood. Recapturing a sense of childhood and its associated imageries, this work features Dumbo, a young and talented circus elephant with a special ability, to remind us that everyone is unique and special.
