About the artwork

In this exquisitely rendered painting of a temple facade, one can see the incredible technique of Lim Tze Peng. He uses a flurry of intricate brush strokes, with dabs of colour in strategic locations to highlights his subjects. Lim Tze Peng twists his strokes in a calligraphic fashion and one of his influences is Huang Bin Hong 黄宾虹 who innovated upon the painting method Bi Mo 笔墨 using strokes and ink washes to create a semi-abstract painting.
