Mr Lim Leong Seng is a famous Singaporean artist known for his sculptures. In the early 2000s, he created a series of sculptures that revolved around the working class of Singapore. They include realistic busts of the samsui women, coolies, milk sellers, barbers and fishmongers. Some of these were maquettes of large scale sculptures that were installed in public spaces. Some examples would include “Lantern Procession” which can be found at Telok Ayer Green and “School Time Memories” at Far East Square.

The artist is also the creator behind contemporary sculptures that include the piece titled “New Era” which is essentially a column of air-filled plastic bags that lies suspended from the ceiling. The artwork was one of his creations on display at “Nothing is Forever: Rethinking Sculpture in Singapore”, an exhibition held at the National Gallery Singapore in 2022.
