Capturing movement is the touchstone of this artist as Helen Ann Peters
once said in an interview with Lim Ah Cheng.
Coming from a Chinese artistic background, Lim is a skill exponent of
Chinese ink painting and calligraphy. He studied at the Malaysian Institute
of Art and is a pupil of master calligrapher Chong Chen Chuan. Lim is well-
known for his painting of horses although the prolific artist continuously
challenged himself to express his creativity in other subjects like
Orchestras, Balinese dance and other animal forms. What Lim sought is the
spontaneity and movements in his subjects. Wielding his brush, Lim instill a
dynamism in his subjects – a tour de force.
“I have employed both oil as well as ink to bring out the movement. Some
are executed with very fast brush strokes – the same technique as in
Chinese brush painting.This can
never be replicated again because of the speed with which they are
painted. The colour combination also can never be repeated.”enthused Lim.
