Justin Lim

In paintings and mixed-media installations, Malaysian artist Justin Lim captures lively scenes of indoor-outdoor living, rendered in vibrant acrylics. Overflowing with flora, bold patterns, and colorful decor, his work draws inspiration from the playful energy of cartoons and comic books. Lim’s fascination with interiors has stemmed partially from his experience during COVID-19 lockdowns, which he has said pushed him to look inward. Lim completed his artistic training in Singapore, earning a BFA in painting from Lasalle College of the Arts and an MFA from Open University. He has exhibited widely in Southeast Asia, and in 2023, he was shortlisted for the Sovereign Art Foundation’s Asian Art Prize.
