About the artwork

Ku 30/9/19 - Lim Tze Peng has a knack for portraying places in their natural states, evoking emotions of nostalgia with ink wash and warm, sepia hues. In this painting, he depicts hawkers selling food at roadside stalls and customers partaking in the delicacies. He showcases the simplicity of village life in narrow, winding side streets and squares where the community gathers.
