About the Item
Who Wants to Play Baseball? is a lighthearted and playful work that captures the simple joy of childhood. Cheng-Hsiung Chen uses refined carving techniques to highlight textures, from the boy’s smooth skin to the details of the baseball bat and mitt he holds. The figure stands with eager anticipation, as if waiting for friends to arrive so the game can begin.
Compared to Chen’s works inspired by local Taiwanese fishing life, this sculpture embraces a more universal theme. Baseball, often called Taiwan’s national sport, also evokes shared memories across cultures. The work conveys the excitement of a child ready to play while awakening in viewers their own recollections of carefree moments filled with laughter, energy, and imagination.
