This series of artworks by Singaporean artist Patrick Teo (Pateo) features the nostalgic scenes and life in Singapore from the 1950s to 1960s. This exhibition hopes to revive memories of the good old days and illustrate the daily life and activities during that era. The paintings will also convey children playing and having fun in the simplest of ways, although they underscore a childhood that was far from easy.
Pateo’s first few years were lived under the Japanese Occupation. His family struggled through the post war years and they were always hungry. Having lived in a tumultuous era of Singapore history and having survived the Second World War, Pateo has a radically different perspective of life.
