About
Hannah Lim’s work is deeply rooted in her mixed Singaporean and British heritage, a fusion that infuses her work with a unique perspective on the dialogue between East and West. Inspired by the ornate and fantastical nature of Chinoiserie, she has embarked on a quest to explore the complexities of Orientalism and reclaim this cultural dialogue in a more respectful and inclusive manner.
Lim’s work features captivating creature-like arms and legs, as seen in Box of Beasts, reminiscent of mythological Chinese creatures, imbuing her works with a playful and peculiar quality. These personified elements add an enchanting dimension to her art, inviting viewers to delve into a world where imagination intertwines with cultural heritage. From entrancing snuff bottles to the majestic new bronze Orchid Table, Lim’s pieces exude a playful charm while carrying profound messages about identity, culture, and belonging.
