This evocative ink work by Lim Tze Peng captures the vibrancy of a traditional street market, bustling under makeshift shelters shaded by trees. Baskets overflowing with fresh produce, stalls stacked with daily necessities, and the animated movement of vendors and patrons immerse the viewer in a scene that once defined the heart of Singapore’s everyday life. Executed in Lim’s characteristic expressive brushwork, the piece conveys not only the visual liveliness but also the spirit of resilience and community embedded in these market spaces. For collectors, it represents a rare documentation of Singapore’s vanishing heritage, transforming the ordinary into enduring cultural memory.
