This upcoming exhibition at artcommune gallery takes you on a journey through veteran artist Lim Tze Peng’s five decades of artistic evolvement. On exhibit are over 30 works including his early ink paintings of Old Singapore scenes (1970s – 80s) and still life compositions; 1990s ink landscapes that capture the decorative customs and idyllic charms of Bali; early-2000s trees-inspired expressions; and calligraphic artworks that attest to his aesthetic innovation in the recent decade.
Born in Singapore in 1921, Lim Tze Peng immersed in calligraphy and painting since young and became a full-time artist after retiring as the principal of Chung Cheng High School in 1982. He enjoys critical and commercial success with his nostalgic ink compositions of Old Singapore landscapes as well as a highly-stylised body of modern calligraphy. In 2003, Lim Tze Peng was awarded the Cultural Medallion in recognition of his invaluable contribution to Singapore’s artistic heritage. The Art Journey of Lim Tze Peng will provide an interesting window into the different periods of his creative career.
