Born in 1923, Lim Tze Peng is mainly a self-taught artist. Ink paintings and calligraphic works are predominantly featured in his work, though there is a small collection of early oils, watercolours and drawings. He created a unique style of ink painting using rich brush and tonal details, and this approach is often regarded as a manifestation of the Nanyang Style in the ink medium. He was awarded the Cultural Medallion in 2003.Lim is an earnest practioner of the still life genre as he believes it allows one to hone his observation skills. To this end, he has produced countless charming depictions of tropical fruit and vegetable arrangements.
