Lim Ah Cheng, A Malaysian artist residing in a tropical nation and being consistently surrounded by art, one can skillfully employ the vibrant world of distinct colors to create Eastern paintings or abstract expressionism artworks that blend traditional East with the contemporary West. Lim is adept at finding balance between the traditional and modern aspects, as well as between convention and innovation. Using rhythmic colors, ingenious coordination, and blending of shapes and lines, Lim transformed the realistic horses into partially abstract figures and colors, causing them to pulsate with vibrant energy on the canvas. When it comes to the portrayal of horse figures, the western culture often seeks peace and serenity through stillness, finding aesthetic appeal in a state of motionlessness. However Lim seeks tranquility amidst constant movement characterizes a contrasting perspective. The combination of motion and stillness embodies aesthetic concepts that possess unique qualities of creativity and the pursuit of impulses.

Lim Ah Cheng said, ” early on, watercolours, sketches and oil paintings. Either one were used as the main feature for a painting, and these paintings were all so realistic and imagery. Then, after learning the Chinese ink and the technique of freehand, I found that the effect would be better if the two were combined.” From this, the paintings of Lim Ah Cheng from using both mixtures of Chinese and Western influences was born.

林亚清，马来西亚艺术家，居住在热带国家，一直被艺术所包围，能够巧妙地运用色彩鲜明的充满活力的世界，创作出融合东方传统与当代西方的东方绘画或抽象表现主义艺术作品。林先生善于在传统与现代、传统与创新之间寻找平衡。利用有节奏的色彩、巧妙的协调以及形状和线条的融合，林将现实的马匹转化为部分抽象的图形和颜色，使它们在画布上脉动着充满活力的能量。西方文化在对马形象的描绘上，往往以静止求和平与安宁，在静止的状态中寻找审美情趣。

林亚清说“之前都是水彩，素描和油画作为主，这些画都属写实或映象派。而后，学了写意派的水墨后，发现如果将两者相结合的效果会更好” 由此，中西画美学表现手法就此诞生！
