Kim Lim: The Space Between. A Retrospective at the National Gallery

Explore the artistry of Singapore-born British visionary Kim Lim (1936–1997) in the most extensive exhibition of her works ever presented at the National Gallery Singapore. Kim Lim: The Space Between will showcase over 150 works, including sculptures, prints, maquettes, never-before-seen photographs, and archival materials.The exhibition celebrates Lim as a modern art pioneer and a significant figure in 20th-century sculpture and printmaking. The artworks and archival materials offer new perspectives on Lim's artistic journey, philosophy, and creative connections, highlighting her use of suggestion and metaphor to harmonize light, space, and rhythm.Lim left Singapore for London in 1954 to study at the St. Martin’s School of Fine Art and Slade School of Fine Art. Besides sculpture and printmaking, she also pursued drawing at the same time, unified by a focus on abstraction, light, space, and rhythm. She developed a transcultural style, rejecting cultural labels and dominant artistic narratives.Ongoing till 2 February 2025, this exhibition is divided into four sections, tracing her artistic evolution across four decades.Early Works: Assembling, DelineatingThe exhibition begins with Lim's early works, highlighting her exploration of vertical and architectonic forms through methods like delineating surfaces and constructing verticality, stacking, segmentation, and alternation.Inspired by Constantin Brâncuși’s works, Lim developed her iconic column-based sculptures with titles like Samurai (1961), Pegasus (1962), Ronin (1963), and Centaur II (1963), reflecting her fascination with elemental and archaic forms. These early explorations established her lifelong focus on spatiality and abstract scale.
