Lim Ah Cheng’s Horses series celebrates strength, movement, and vitality through his dynamic portrayal of galloping horses. In this work, the artist employs sweeping strokes of golden yellow accented with streaks of red, imbuing the composition with both energy and elegance. The horses, long regarded as symbols of power and freedom, become a visual metaphor for resilience and triumph in Lim’s hands. Born in Selangor in 1968, Lim Ah Cheng graduated from the Malaysian Institute of Art in 1989. He is best known for his horse paintings, where expressive brushwork and fluid lines capture both motion and spirit. Over the years, his works have been widely exhibited in Malaysia and abroad, earning him recognition for his ability to transform traditional subjects into contemporary statements of vitality and grace.
