About the artwork

This captivating piece by Singaporean artist Lim Tze Peng depicts a local marketplace rendered in black and white. Despite the monochromatic colour palette, Lim’s use of quick and bold brushstrokes injects the scene with dynamism and swift energy, reflecting the bustling nature of everyday life in Old Singapore. Lim Tze Peng’s black and white work allows us to experience his artistic skill in its raw form, emphasising its richness in terms of the historical subject depicted, as well as the contemporary relevance of his art that connects with viewers of today.
