This powerful abstract work embodies the essence of Lim Tze Peng’s late artistic period, when the boundaries between painting and calligraphy dissolved into a singular, expressive force. In Energy of Calligraphy, Lim transforms written form into pure visual rhythm — an explosive symphony of line, color, and movement that vibrates with life.

The composition unfolds across a warm brown background, its surface charged with bold, sweeping ink strokes that twist and flow like cosmic energy. Accents of crimson, indigo, yellow, and green punctuate the field, illuminating the darker forms and adding layers of emotional depth. The thick, gestural brushwork — at once calligraphic and painterly — reveals Lim’s mastery in balancing control with spontaneity, structure with spirit.

Here, the artist transcends literal language to reveal the visual power of the written word. Each curve and sweep of ink carries the pulse of breath, the flow of thought, and the vitality of qi — the life energy that animates all creation. The interplay between dense blacks and luminous colors captures the eternal dialogue between yin and yang, chaos and harmony.

For collectors, Energy of Calligraphy represents the pinnacle of Lim Tze Peng’s exploration of abstract expression within the framework of Chinese ink tradition. It is both a culmination of decades of artistic refinement and a spiritual declaration — a painting that celebrates not just art, but life itself.
