Kim Lim: Source at Axel Vervoordt


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Axel Vervoordt Gallery is delighted to present Source, a solo exhibition of artworks by late Singaporean-British artist Kim Lim. Source brings together sculptures, prints and photographs by Kim Lim in an exhibition exploring rhythm, transformation and the vital energies held within matter. Taking its title from Lim’s 1988 sculpture, the exhibition begins with the idea of the source not simply as a fixed point of origin, but as a generative condition: a place from which forms emerge, change and return. It also refers to source material—the observations, things, experiences and documentation that inspired Lim’s artistic journey and process.

Photographs selected from the artist’s archive punctuate the exhibition. Although photography remained a constant element of Lim’s working life, these images have previously been presented primarily as archival or supporting material. Here, they occupy a deliberately ambiguous position. They offer traces of Lim’s travels and working processes, revealing her sustained attention to structures, rhythms and forms found across natural and built environments.
