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.An avid traveller, Lim used to make painting trips around the region, at times alone, at times with fellow artists such as the Ten Men Art Group which was active during the 1970s. Lim, who has always been fascinated by the sea and boats, often sought these out to paint even when overseas.
