Soul of Ink: Lim Tze Peng at 100 pays tribute to the remarkable
achievement of artistic renaissance at 100. It traces the lean
beginnings of Lim Tze Peng's early years, relives the times of
controversy over the artist's innovations in Chinese calligraphy,
and celebrates his breakthroughs. Throughout the book, attention is
paid to Lim Tze Peng the man, the foundation of everything that is
admirable about Lim Tze Peng the artist. It looks at the man behind
the art, and how art has given life to him and his family.Farmer,
teacher, principal, and artist, Lim Tze Peng counts Lee Man Fong,
Cheong Soo Pieng, and Liu Kang as his mentors. These men, like the
others from the pioneering generation of Nanyang artists, are no
longer around. Lim Tze Peng remains standing, a witness to and
player in Singapore's art history since the 1940s.His life started
late; everything got going only after the ripe old age of 80. A
Cultural Medallion winner at 82 and a Meritorious Service recipient
at 95, Lim Tze Peng is used to the twists and turns of life and has
been trained by experience to endure the vagaries of fate. You
could describe his art as the art of perseverance. The works he
produces these days need to be seen to be believed. Bigger, bolder,
and boasting far more colour than ever before, his art is as
invigorating as that of a young man, whilst embodying the soul of a
sage.At the heart of this book is the word 'soul'. What pushes a
man at the age of 100 to continue breaking new ground in his life's
work? How has he been able to surprise not just the art community
but himself?This is Woon Tai Ho's second book on a Singaporean
artist. His first, To Paint a Smile, is about the artist Tan Swie
Hian.
