Catalogue Note

"Painting in ink and colour, as well as oil, Lim Tze Peng’s works are like annotations of the ordinary scenes around us. His use of traditional medium is tempered with his energetic visions; describing and prescribing in space. By his own admission, he has aspired to “evolve” in his words, “a personal (local) identity” through the fusion of western and traditional Chinese styles."
