About the artwork
The paintings of Lim Tze Peng possess great depth, he skilfully achieves the creation of delicate layers through gradients and textures - controlling his washes of ink carefully. We are transported back in time to scenes of village life, discovering serenity in a grove of coconut trees and exquisitely rendered figures.
