Lim Charlotte

Lim Charlotte (b.1998, Singapore) is an emerging artist who is currently pursuing her Fine Arts Degree at LASALLE College of the Arts. Exploring the nuances of the human condition and interrelationships, Lim’s work revolves around the human body, its ornate form, its placement, its existence in a space shared amongst other matter.

 

As an art form, she believes the human body and its different parts can be dismantled and remodelled; and be grounded in new meaning. Sensing the notions of scale within spaces all matter inhabit; the minuscule, the vast, and everything in between, Lim creates a dialogue around the fragility of traditionalism and the elucidation of self defying sexual affirmation – striving to become both the content and its critique, adhering to classical norms while admonishing them. The themes she usually works with are space, power, and conversely, vulnerability and fragility.

 

All her works are derived from personal experiences, such as addiction, mental illnesses, being institutionalised - and thus attempts to physically manifest individual solace.

​

She has exhibited at Gajah Gallery, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore (ICAS) and Goodman Arts Centre and was awarded the 30 Art Friends Scholarship in 2015.
