Dick Lim

Chye, also known as Dick, has been in the advertising/graphic industry since the 70s. Now he returns to his first love fine arts, by setting up shop at Wessex Estate, a studio cum gallery he can call his own.

These days Dick immerses himself in capturing on canvas, forms and images of subject matters that came to mind. The main source of inspiration is still drawn from his own life experiences, with many of his paintings developing a sense of character and personality, reflecting the artists own fascination with people and life in general. Painting to him is like a visual adventure, some pieces are like a storyboard waxing lyrical of a bygone era with very individualistic portrayal of the subject matter. Conversant in oil, acrylic and watercolour, and with an exuberant and analytical mind, he transforms each piece of his work into a rather bold and riveting picture.
