About the artwork

charity donation - Lim Tze Peng’s technical superiority and artistic control manifests in the brisk and bold strokes of black lines on white paper. A stark contrast is produced yet the characters fill the space with perfect harmony and balance, in which uneven applications of wet and dry ink give off a sense of rhythm and energy. Taking inspiration from Song Dynasty writer 苏轼 Su Shi who coined the phrase 江山如画 Jiang Shan Ru Hua, Lim’s elegant and sophisticated piece of work expresses his undying love and admiration towards his own beautiful country.
