Discover the artistic evolution of Singapore’s oldest living and active artist, 103 year-old Lim Tze Peng, at National Gallery Singapore
Marvel at the picturesque and nostalgic depictions of well-loved scenes of everyday Singapore and magnificent landscapes from around the world at Becoming Lim Tze Peng. From 25 October 2024 to 23 March 2025, National Gallery Singapore presents its first solo exhibition on Singapore’s oldest living and active artist, Lim Tze Peng, featuring over 50 artworks curated from Singapore’s public art collections, the artist’s personal art collection, and rare archival materials. Visitors can look forward to tracing the artistic evolution of the 103 year-old artist, with artworks dating back to 1946 and as recent as 2023.
Becoming Lim Tze Peng is the fourth installment of the 2024 Gallery’s four-part SG Artist series, which seeks to spotlight visionary Singaporean artists who reflect Singapore’s post-independence spirit and innovation. Delve into the compelling stories behind Lim’s bold and expressive ink works, including the invention of his own distinct style of calligraphy, ‘hu tu zi’ (糊涂字), also known as ‘muddled calligraphy’ or ‘muddled characters’.
