About the artwork

This is a calligraphy adaptation by Veteran Artist Lim Tze Peng, of a poem by Xu Hun,a famous Poet from the Tang Dynasty. ‘Early Autumn’ is a part of the collection of Tang Dynasty Poems. The poem describes the night and daylight scenes of Autumn time and Xu Hun is known to emphasize depth and dimension while being delicate and meticulous in his writings. Just as Lim Tze Peng believes, “A Calligrapher would be able to use a simple line to reveal many different layers.” 遥夜泛青瑟、西风生翠萝。残萤栖玉露 、早雁拂金河。高树晓还密 、远山晴更多。南淮一叶下、自觉洞庭波
