About the artwork
Lim Tze Peng paints a collection of red toreadors. This piece is different compared to the other pieces in the series as he paints the flowers without a pot but instead in a cluster. He incorporates a delicate faint touch of yellow to enhance to overall composition of the art piece. The combination of the green and the vibrancy of the red compliments each other creating visual harmony and unity. Lim then uses black to accentuate the stems adding contrast.
