H.H. Lim is one of the most high profile international Malaysian artists. He has been domiciled in Rome since his Academy of Fine Art study days in 1976 and is much written about among the Italian avant-garde in art journals. Through narratives of the ephemeral and personal memories of the city, H.H. Lim’s imagery allows the viewer to examine the physical materiality of everyday objects. The result is a dazzling transformation of materials drawn from a unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures. H.H. Lim is a Neo-Conceptual cum performance-installation artist. He has chalked up an impressive CV having taken part in the Istanbul, Prague (2013), Tirana, Singapore (2016), Kuala Lumpur (2017) and Venice biennales, his recent Venice biennale in 2013 in the Cuban Pavilion. He was also in the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2010. His major solo exhibitions include Gone With The Wind (UCCA Ullens Contemporary Art Centre Beijing, 2010) and reputable places like National Centre for Contemporary Art (Moscow), GNAM (Rome), MAXI Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo (Rome), the Westin Excelsior in Rome (2012) and at the Tang Contemporary Art, Beijing. In his Henry Butcher Art Auction debut in November 2013, his Flying Image In Blue Project netted a premium of RM121,000. He was given a comeback solo by Wei-Ling Contemporary, ‘The Beginning Of Something’ although he had one in 2012, called ‘Daily Music’, at his own space, IzuZone in Penang. His works were presented in Holding Up A Mirror, Malaysia Pavilion, Palazzo Malipiero, at the 58th International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale.
