Art outreach is a non profit organisation whose role is to expose and educate people, esp school children, to the arts.
They have kindly allowed Lim to use the place.
She presented 2 big works, 2 medium works and 3 tiny works. The works are a continuation of her previous works. The works are about layers and these layers represent life experiences. And previously she did book cut outs, collages and sketches to represent these layers. This time she decided to capture the experiences in paint. One of the better paintings with the birds was an expansion of her previous work in her sketchbook series Catharsis.
If you watch the video presentation of her installing the works, she projected the works onto the wall with video and painted a mural to tie the works together. A very nice touch and the mural in itself is great art. And she has been painting a few murals too.
She is definitely a good artist but does not have the edgy-ness which she needs to set herself apart in the crowded art world.
Points for collectors: Buy rating. She is definitely improving and is a motivated artist. Hope she continues working hard and continues to evolve has an artist. She may not be in the Museum curator's radar as she does nice work and is not too radical. Neither is she in the main gallery system. But I think she has a mentor and friend in Instinc Artist Yeo Shih Yun, so hopefully she gets more gallery/air time and increases her visibility.
