[insert some slower, thoughtful/pensive (traditional Chinese?) music for a few seconds, then fade out when the narration starts]
Untitled (Forest Path) is a monochromatic ink painting that offers a different view of Lim's artistry. Here, without colour or recognisable forms, He demonstrates his considerable skill with brush and ink. Take note of the varied brushstrokes and ink splatters. See how he weaves empty spaces throughout the composition, creating a sense of distance and depth.
For him, the empty space or void is not just a blank surface; it actively interacts with the filled areas of the painting, creating a sense of rhythm and balance. Think of it like the pauses in music, shaping the overall rhythm of a piece of music.
Look closely and you’ll see how Lim plays with the forms of trees, particularly the details of roots and branches. He later pulls away from such figurative subject matters through the use of calligraphy to create abstract compositions and forms with his dynamic brushworks.
This recurring theme became central in his work. It was in this style that he truly found his voice. His ability to blend Eastern and Western influences, his masterful use of space, and his distinctive brushwork all came together to create a harmonious visual experience.
