About the artwork

4th floor Works in this series of Lim Tze Peng plays on the notion of the Chinese character and its elicit meaning. The word ‘石’ (Rock), is the only character presented in this work aside from the artist’s name. The sheer scale and focus of the character with its powerful strokes display qualities of a physical rock, one we associate with strength, resilience, and its monumental build-up of the ground we stand firmly on.
