Ali Nurazmal Yusoff is well-known for transforming old master figures and scenes into a contemporary setting. His compositions are richly layered with symbols. Ali’s signature style is evident here, containing bright strips of colour, packed with fun characters and icons from childhood cartoons. His enthusiastic expressions depict a child’s innocent and genuine emotions when at play. A Madagascar penguin is playfully placed into the composition.
