About the artwork

The subject matter of Lim Tze Peng's paintings is narrow, yet focused. As a result of his in-depth explorations into painting scenes of his travels and familiar locations, he is able to effortlessly convey the spirit of the place and demonstrate his technical mastery of both ink and oil painting styles. His bold outlines reflect intricate details and are filled in with the faintest tinge of color, depicting the nostalgia he has towards the neighbourhood he resides in.
