LIM AH CHENG (b. 1968) Symphony Orchestra, 2009
Est: RM7,000 - RM12,000
It may be more difficult for a painter to orchestrate the rhythm (â€˜movement') of music on canvas than a conductor in actual philharmonic orchestra setting. The variations in play of what is obviously a static scene of fixed seated musicians with different instruments are achieved by Lim Ah Cheng through a dexterous play of line, colours and figure abstractions. It was a visit to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra performance in 2008 that set the versatile artist who is as adept with Chinese ink as with acrylic and oil, on his art of musical interludes. Lim Ah Cheng graduated with a diploma in Graphic Design at the Malaysian Institute of Art in 1988-1991, with a simultaneous certificate in communications (storybook design and illustrations) from the Tatsun Studio in 1990-1991.

LIM AH CHENG (b. 1968) POWERFUL HORSES, 1998, Oil on canvas
Est: RM13,000 - RM18,000
In painting horses, for which Lim Ah Cheng has been happily typecast, there is nothing more adrenalin-charged than its sheer power: the thundering of the hooves, the speed and strength, the determined and persistent stamina. This is one equestrian work which Lim Ah Cheng prefers the abstract capturing the movement and playing with the swirl of colours scrambled from green, blue, yellow and white, creating an imaginary horse dance of sorts. Incidentally, his other pet subject is that of orchestral interlude, of music and dance.Lim Ah Cheng had his early informal, irregular art training under Chinese ink calligrapher Chung Chen Chuan from 1995-1999. He received his Diploma from the Malaysian Institute of Art in 1988-92, and Certificate in Communications (Storyboard Design and Illustration) from the Tatsun Studio in 1990-1991. He won an Incentive Award in the Shah Alam Art Gallery Open in 1997, and 3rd Prize in the National Day Open in 1998. But it took a long time before he was confident enough to stage his first solo, of his 1996-2002 works of his horses, in an exhibition titled, Challenging Horses, at the now-defunct art gallery, Elle Six. Another notable all-horse exhibition was at Art Accent, called Metamorphosis in 2009. Two solos in Singapore followed, namely, Melody in Harmony (Dynasties Antique and Art Gallery, 2004) and The Passage (Momentous Art Gallery, 2008).
