\nFarmer, 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\x27s art history since the 1940s.
\nHis 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.
\nAt the heart of this book is the word \x26#34;soul\x26#34;. What pushes a man at the age of 100 to continue breaking new ground in his life\x27s work? How has he been able to surprise not just the art community but himself?
\nThis is Woon Tai Ho\x27s second book on a Singaporean artist. His first, To Paint a Smile<\/i>, is about the artist Tan Swie Hian.
