About the artwork

Jl 10/2 In the 1980s, Lim Tze Peng began producing his trademark paintings of familiar landmarks in Singapore such as Chinatown. As the city hurtled towards modernisation, many older buildings were demolished and skyscrapers and glass towers became interspersed with shophouses. Lim Tze Peng's paintings are thus reminiscent of a bygone era, emanating nostalgia and fond memories.
