This striking artwork by Lim Tze Peng, Singapore’s preeminent living artist, presents a mesmerizing fusion of abstract Chinese calligraphy interwoven with layered washes of warm ochre, gold, and deep earthy tones. The piece belongs to Lim’s renowned hutuzi (糊涂字) series, where calligraphy transcends legibility and transforms into pure artistic expression.

The rhythmic brushstrokes create a dynamic tapestry — calligraphic characters flow across the canvas like rivers of ink, blending seamlessly with the glowing background. The result is both meditative and powerful, embodying a dialogue between tradition and abstraction, word and form, meaning and emotion.

For collectors, buyers, and investors, this work stands as a hallmark of Lim Tze Peng’s later career, when his bold experimentation pushed the boundaries of Chinese ink art. Acquiring this piece is not only owning a rare visual poem, but also securing an investment in the timeless legacy of a Cultural Medallion recipient whose works continue to command international acclaim.
