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.A popular subject with Chinese ink painters is the Four Gentlemen which is represented by the plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo. They symbolize the four seasons.
