About the artwork

Lim Tze Peng experimented with colours only in the later years after he discovered the ink stains on the stacked papers beneath his paintings created a unique texture and from then he explored different colours to incorporate with is ink writings. 诚­–Honesty, an important chinese value is represented by the gold as it is valuable and should be treasured. He fuses gold and black creating harmony and the complementary combination also enhances the composition, giving it more depth and deeper meaning to the value of the character.
