About the artwork

Lim Tze Peng experimented with colours in his calligraphy only in the later years after he discovered ink stains on a stack of papers beneath his paintings and from then he explored different colours to incorporate with is ink writings. Lim Tze Peng plays with colour in this calligraphy to enrich the negative space and create tonal harmony but compared to his early discoveries, he paints around the black ink, which allows the brown colour to appear more intense. Lim Tze Peng continuously introduces new methods to the art form, displaying the artist’s never-ending journey in attempting new form and styles.
