🖌As one of Singapore’s most celebrated artists, Lim Tze-Peng (林子平) is renowned for his evocative paintings of Singapore before urban redevelopment. His iconic work Ferry Back Home《归林渡头》beautifully captures the quiet rhythm of everyday life in a Nanyang fishing village. 🌴🌴

This masterpiece is now on display at the Wan Boo Sow Chinese Library. Discover the soul behind the painting in our latest blog 👉https://blog.nus.edu.sg/linus/2026/02/10/soul-of-ink-lim-tze-pengs-artistic-legacy-at-nus-wan-boo-sow-chinese-library/
