Asia Art Collective proudly presents Weathering Storms as One, a solo sculptural exhibition featuring established Singaporean artist Lim Leong Seng.

Showcasing 30 sculptures accomplished over fifty years of Lim's creative journey, this exhibition invites us into the sculptural world of the artist, and allows us to understand his inspirations and thought process. The first and only artist to successfully develop a theme of sculptures unique to the life and culture of our earlier ancestors, Lim presents us with the Heritage series: a collection of characters and vignettes from early Singaporean history. From the weathered faces of the Samsui women, the relaxed mood of coolies at rest after a hard day's work, to the opulent dress and regal bearing of a Peranakan couple – with great skill and empathy for his subject matter, Lim has successfully brought these characters to life in bronze, capturing the diverse moods, charms and social relations of that era. Other themes presented include the Abstract and Family series which highlight Lim's perspective and vision of our nation and society, and when considered within this ensemble of sculptures, narrate the transition and change of Singaporean society through pre-independence to the present day.

This solo exhibition also marks an important point in the fifty-year creative journey of Lim Leong Seng.
