Lim Tze Peng (Chinese: 林子平; pinyin: Lín Zǐpíng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lîm Tsí-pîng, 28 September 1921 – 3 February 2025) was a Singaporean artist.

It was a total experience in that he took in what he saw and felt at a single moment in time, selecting, analysing, composing, and recording details simultaneously.

His handling of tonal values and the swift notations of light and dark complemented the decisive brush strokes to give life and movement to the subject matter.

The calligraphic brushwork, rooted in the artist's deep knowledge of Chinese writing, is the most characteristic feature of Lim's work.

His observations are revealing: the visual power of Pan Tianshou's (1897–1971) paintings radiates from the massiveness of his expansive forms; that of Qi Baishi's (1863–1957) from his overpowering sensitivity of touch; that of Wu Changshou's (1844–1927) from his intriguing balance of the painterly dynamics in his art.

Works in Chinese art history impressed him, particularly those characterised by a tremendous sense of directness, the orthodox and liberation.

[8] In 1981, Lim plunged into an uninterrupted marathon race to complete a large number of Singapore scenes which had captured his imagination.
