career has seen him practising and experimenting with Chinese
ink and brush. From his practice of calligraphy and using a fine
brush technique to sketch open air drawings of landscapes and scenery, the
artist in his later and more recent experiments arrived at the monumental,
abstracted calligraphy and paintings he has come to be known for. The exhibition focuses on recent developments and works in the artist’s practice. Drawing from a recent donation of Lim Tze Peng’s works to NUS
Museum, generously supported by loans from the Lim Tze Peng Art Gallery at
Chung Cheng High School, and other private collections, the exhibition focuses
on the artist’s progression from landscape paintings in his earlier years, to this turn
towards the abstract and the monumental in his application of calligraphic
lines undertaken in the later part of his artistic journey.Image: Lim Tze Peng, Trees (2014), Ink and water on paper, 192 x 490 cm. Gift of Linda Neo in honour of Lim Tze Peng.
