LIM KEH SOON (b. 1980) YOU EAT ME, I EAT YOU, 2013, Acrylic on canvas
Est: RM6,500 - RM10,000
There’s a new game in town. It’s called, ‘You Eat Me, I Eat You’ Far from being a gourmet delight, this is a battle of eating to the finish, with the eaten being finished, like a tit for tat, except that there will not be any tit to tat. But eating is not to be taken in the literal sense, but as a metaphor of greed, no matter how much ‘food’ the miscreant is given, he or she will want more and more. This will be more to Lim Keh Soon’s type of absurd social situations with caricaturist figures.Lim Keh Soon is one of the prime-movers behind the Findars experimental and multimedia art space, which first had its base in the Central Market annexe.

LIM KEH SOON (b. 1980) DAYDREAM NATION, 2011, Acrylic on canvas
Est: RM6,000 - RM10,000
This is more than a daydream despite the artist Lim Keh Soon titling it so. It is a nightmare where humans, mutants and strange creatures interact in bizarre situations, reminiscent of Chan Kok Hooi’s Theatre Of The Absurd, such as Chan’s Raksaksa (2004) and Boleh! (2003). Lim is no newcomer to the Kuala Lumpur art scene, having touted his works in Central Market and ArtSeni Gallery in Lot 10 previously. While Lim’s denizens go about their lives without creating chaos or disturbing others, the debauchery and the tension of genetic mutation among Man, animals and insects suggests a topsy-turvy world. What is the Slug Man, the largest by scale, doing with its balloon of rocks? Is it related to the man’s head showing the top half popping up from the ground? Funny effluents, man in Superman costume ravaging a woman (or is it a sex dolls?), the head with wings, barren trees, the man with intestinal tentacles… Lim is one of the prime-movers behind the Findars experimental and multimedia art space, which first had its base in the Central Market annexe. He was featured in the Absurd(C)ity exhibition organised by the National Art Gallery. He graduated with a Diploma in Illustration from the Malaysian Institute of Art, Kuala Lumpur, in 2003.
