Norris Yim

Born: 1989

Hometown: Hong Kong

Based in: Hong Kong

At the crossroads of abstract expressionism and portraiture we meet painter Norris Yim, who with his robust brush strokes and a distinct attention to detail, allows viewers to be completely entranced to his artistry. Painting is purely a means of self-presentation, a process of transforming my observation of others and internalizing it as creative inspiration. Seeking my own spiritual satisfaction with poetry. The self-expression is often tinged with loneliness.
