LIM TZE PENG | Balinese Food Stalls
Est: S$12,000 - S$15,000
67 x 67 cm ; 89 x 89 cm (with frame) ink on paper signed and stamped middle left Provenance: Ode To Art, Singapore, Private collection, Singapore (acquired from the above) 林子平《巴厘岛小吃摊》水墨纸本款识：林子平艺术家钤印（左中）来源：新加坡Ode To Art 画廊；新加坡私人收藏（购自於上述） Known as a member of the Ten Men Group, Lim Tze Peng is a prominent artist from Singapore who studied after the pioneer masters Lee Man Fong, Cheong Soo Pieng, and Liu Kang. Lim initiated his artistic endeavors after getting honed with calligraphy skills at a Chinese education institution, being significantly influenced by traditional Chinese cultures and aesthetics. His spirit of experimentation and innovation equipped him with fascinating painting ideas, fusing traditional techniques with modern subjects to depict ordinary life and local culture. He was awarded the Cultural Medallion at the age of 82 for his great contribution to Singapore’s art development. Lim has a special fondness for the food stall culture of Southeast Asia, which became one of his most iconic motifs, immersing himself in the region’s tropical atmosphere and using his art to record the beauty of the changing times. Rigorous in his approach to art, Lim took field trips with other Ten Men Group members to Bali, Sarawak, Thailand to encapsulate the essence of indigenous life. The featured lot “Balinese Food Stalls” showcases Lim’s mastery of ink painting and delicate handling of brush, exuding a sense of liveliness. A few strokes are enough to outline the figures’ vibrancy, making audiences feel as if they are in that scene where the aroma of food suffuses. 作为新加坡“十人艺术团”的一员，林子平是新加坡著名艺术家，师从第一代先锋艺术家李曼峰、钟泗滨和刘抗。林子平在华校接受了书法技巧的训练后开始了他的艺术创作生涯，深受中国传统文化和美学的熏陶。秉承着对艺术的实验与创新精神，他的绘画理念引人入胜，将传统技法与现代主题相融合以描绘平凡的生活与本土文化。为了表彰他对新加坡艺术发展所作出的巨大贡献，他在82岁高龄时被授予文化奖。林子平对东南亚特有的小吃摊文化有着特殊的喜爱，这也成为他最具代表性的绘画题材之一。他沉浸在东南亚的热带风情中，用艺术记录时代变迁的美。林子平对待艺术态度严谨，曾与“十人团”的成员一同前往巴厘岛、沙捞越和泰国等地进行实地考察，以捕捉当地生活的精髓。本次拍卖的作品《巴厘岛小吃摊》展现了林子平精湛高超的水墨技艺和对细腻笔触的处理，散发出勃勃生机。他用寥寥几笔便勾勒出人物鲜活的形象，使观众仿佛也置身于那个弥漫着食物香气的场景中。

Lim Tze Peng (b. Singapore, 1923) Songs Of The Heart
Est: RM18,000 - RM28,000
This Lim Tze Peng abstract calligraphy painting stands out for its fiery backdrop to match the robust calligraphic strokes done in his ‘great freehand ink style’ which could purport certain meanings. With the cue from the title, Songs Of The Heart, it invariably veers to something passionate. His inspirations include Huang Binhong, Li Keran, and calligraphers Kang Youwei and Yu Youren. Since 2007, Lim has been painting more indoors. His works integrating painting and calligraphy stem from analogy of trees, trunk and roots, and his calligraphy which he dubbed hutuzi (muddled calligraphy) may well denote or symbolize these. In Inroads: Lim Tze Peng’s New Ink Work, Teo Han Wue (director of the Art Retreat Museum) wrote: “For Lim, brushwork is evergreen like the tropical trees with their trunks and branches entwined, presenting possibilities as boundless as the free cursive strokes in the calligraphic work…” Wrote Kwok Kian Chow in Realist Sojourn, Expressionist Return: “… trees serve as a conduit between xieyi and realism for Lim. They may be seen in both the ink aesthetics context of cosmological naturalism, tianren heyi (the union of Nature and man), and the realism of Nanyang sceneries.” Self-taught Lim Tze Peng was awarded Singapore’s Cultural Medallion in 2003, the Commonwealth Art Exhibition Special Prize in 1977, the Public Administration Medal in 1963 and the Public Service Medal in 1981. After finishing high school in 1948, he taught for 30 years, retiring as a school principal of Xinmin Secondary School in 1981. His work, Singapore River Scene (1978) set a record price HK$620,000 at the HK Christie’s auction in May 2012. His latest exhibition Soul Of Ink: Lim Tze Peng at 100, was held at The Arts House, Singapore in 2021.
