About the artwork

Lim Tze Peng’s command of form by the careful application of ink and handling of the brush is evident in this artwork, demonstrating his decades of practice, studied revisions and worldly experiences. Incorporating dense strokes against a metallic background, he paints the Chinese character of “声” that translates to “Resonance”, creating illusory depth as the matte ink is materialised in stark contrast to the gold. In its primal simplicity, the painting illuminates a vision of regal grandeur, with fluid elegance and sturdiness in the composition of the character.
