Lim Leong Seng is famous for his sculptures of the people and figures which were iconic of old Singapore. He has worked with the Public Arts Trust by the National Arts Council to come up with numerous sculptures for the public to enjoy. In this realistic sculpture of a malay gentleman, viewers are able to appreciate the fine details and folds on the Baju Kurong and Songkok. There is also an indication of movement as the figure’s left foot is placed at the back. Lastly, it has to be mentioned that his facial features and expression are beautifully captured.
Lim Leong Seng has also created sculptures out of repurposed everyday objects. One of which includes a piece titled “New Era” in 1976. It was remade in 2022 and exhibited at the show “Nothing is Forever: Rethinking Sculpture in Singapore” organised by the National Gallery Singapore. Mr Lim also had a book launch titled “Lim Leong Seng: Journey from the Wilderness” at the National Gallery Singapore during November 2022.
