ART BY GRACE LIM

TRANSFORM IDEAS INTO REALITY

studio note

I make abstract expressionist paintings driven by instinct and a refusal to worship perfection.

I crave it, and chase it— all the way.

Bold color. Large gestures. Spontaneous marks.

Chaos negotiated into form.

Realism crashes the party.

I work with raw materials and unapologetic questions—

how memory haunts,

why emptiness feels like hell or home,

what we’re all doing here.

I’m building my exit.

Rewriting success through paint.

Art insists.

Messy. Magical. Sublime.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m building things around the house, working in the yard, cooking a dangerously good Malaysian curry, or keeping score with my two assistants as they attempt to chew my canvases and collected wood like it’s rawhide.
