Justin Lim (b. Kuala Lumpur, 1983) Forever And Never, 2011
Est: RM28,000 - RM38,000
The recurring theme of life and death, decay and renewal underpinned Justin Lim’s preoccupations on his return from the Red Gate Gallery residency in Beijing under the aegis of Khazanah National, and which culminated in his 5th solo, Arcane Fantasies For The Flesh And The Sublime at Richard Koh Fine Art (RKFA), Kuala Lumpur, in 2013. Juxtaposing a human clad only in shorts and a skeletal effigy seated, makes an ironic twist to the phrase, ‘flesh and bones’, and the mutability of forms. Justin Lim works in paintings, mixed media, assemblages and installations. Justin Lim had his art tutelage in Singapore, first BFA (Hons) majoring in Painting and then MFA at the Open University in LaSalle-SIA College of the Arts (2006). Residencies followed at Taksu KL (2007), Rimbun Dahan, Selangor (2008), Vermont Centre, USA (2011), Red Gate Gallery (2012), and Tasmania College of the Arts, Australia. He started with Taksu KL, with his second solo, Secret Identities, in 2010, before joining RKFA in the 2014 Art Stage Singapore, No Other Paradise, in the SEA Pavilion, followed by a solo Modern Absurdity and the Superficial Abyss in 2015. He also took part in the Asia Young 36 at the Jeonbuk Museum of Art in South Korea and the Asian Art Biennale in 2009.

JUSTIN LIM (b. 1983) There Is No Other Paradise, 2013
Est: RM20,000 - RM30,000
Justin Lim appropriates imageries from lifestyle expressions in socio-political context. There Is No Other Paradise, displayed in Art Stage Singapore 2014, is a paradox that can be read in (1) â€˜positive-negative' and (2) â€˜negative-negative' ways. (1) suggests that the paradise is real and acceptable, warts et al; and (2) that the shortcomings are what make a place a paradise. So, is there a â€˜lost paradise'? of a more idyllic time? Justin Lim completed his postgraduate studies in 2006 with a Master of Art (Fine Art) degree from The Open University UK conducted at Lasalle- SIA College of the Arts, Singapore, where he had a BFA (Hons), majoring in Painting. He had a Diploma in Visual & Digital Art at the Limkokwing Institute of Creative Technology in 2003. He had had residencies at Rimbun Dahan in 2008, Vermont Studio, USA in 2011, Red Gate Gallery, Beijing (sponsored by Khazanah Nasional) in 2012, the University of Tasmania, and Taksu Kuala Lumpur (2007). He exhibited at the Asia Young 36 survey exhibition in South Korea, and took part in the Art Stage Singapore (2012, 2014, 2016), Art Expo Malaysia (2015), and the Asian Biennale in Taiwan (2009). His first solo, Momentum, was held at Taksu, Kuala Lumpur in 2006, and last, Modern Absurdity And The Superficial Abyss, at Richard Koh Fine Art in 2015.

JUSTIN LIM (b. 1983) Guilty, 2010
Est: RM11,000 - RM19,000
Poor â€˜Anum', as the artist Noor Mahnun Mohamed is called, being roped in into a painted concept drama, about a Muslim woman sentenced to caning for being caught consuming alcohol. This was in Justin Lim's November 2010 exhibition at Taksu Kuala Lumpur called Secret Identities. â€˜Anum' is shown wearing a t-shirt with the tell-tale Tiger Beer logo, and the incriminating word, Guilty, is emblazoned in the lower part. The image is more than being seen as illustrative. The catalogue writer, Australian Gina Farley, branded the image a â€œpsycho-semantic dialogueâ€ Justin Lim completed his postgraduate studies in 2006 with a Master of Art (Fine Art) degree from The Open University UK conducted at Lasalle - SIA College of the Arts, Singapore, where he had a BFA (Hons), majoring in Painting.
