blood Quotes: Art is not about what
you see, but about what you make others see.
Prey |
According to Phyllis Lim art can enrich people’s lives, by freeing one’s
imagination art can be liberating. As a true admirer of art she likes many
artist for different reasons like: Picasso for his inventiveness and
diversity, Kathe Kollwitz for the raw emotional honesty of her work, Michelangelo
for the skill and the sublime beauty of her work.
Blood Tears |
Lim
loves the experience of visiting a new Gallery, she also loves the fact that
twitter has opened up a world view of so many talented artists. Unlike other
artists who have their favorite work: Lim believes that she loves all her latest
work. She loves all her art, so when she sells her work she finds it difficult to
part with her work. Her prime motivation for creating art is she loves art ,not
just to make a living.
Cruelest cut |
She thinks
that the national lottery funding is a vital support for regional arts and
culture as the capital will always be a priority for government funding. She is a
member of an artist’s collective; together they put on exhibitions and promote
arts and culture locally. Fitness mantra or refreshing mantra for her is walking,
yoga, dancing, reading and watching films.
For Lim
a piece of art is a successful attempt to externalize and express an idea,
thought or emotion through a visual object. Be true to yourself and believe in
your work: are her inspiring words for others.
Freedom in her hands |
Due to
the fact that she completed her fine art degree as a mature student, with family
commitments, anytime she spends creating her art is very precious to her. The
subject of her work is related to issues effecting women. She usually starts
with an idea, then the image will come to her mind and this will develop and change
as the work progresses. She takes part in group exhibitions at a local gallery
on a regular basis, and she will be exhibiting at an arts festival in August
2014.
