Lim sodamᅵ In The Shade
The Great Collection is delighted to introduce Lim sodam’s solo exhibition In The Shade as the final exhibition of this year. Lim has been pursuing plastic arts with skills to handle various mediums and a good spatial sense. This exhibition will feature a hybrid ceramic series to show her raw, anthropomorphic sculptures inspired from home.
In The Shade presents a visual and perceptual narrative of her memoir of home, especially what surrounded the concept of home in our mind. The work’s first exhibition space was a Western-style house that used to be an old residential space as well as a maintenance space for an inn back in the 80s. Lim’s work takes inspiration from the space not only the figure of the house or the
nostalgia of home but also the visual and imaginative aspects rising from our senses.
“Sometimes the thoughts from the past created form, and other times the form brought a thought. I observe the continuity of reality at the invisible space between inside and outside._Lim sodam
Participated works could be regarded as drawn sculptures as well as paintings with volume, where the sculptures present an illusion that exposes their internal rhythm and introspection. These ceramic sculptures project very unusual spaces at various places in the exhibition room, transforming the whole space’s impression and calling attention to our own experience of home. As a metaphor of a perception that connects the inside and outside of sculpture, In The Shade hopes to represent cognition, instinct, and the resulting realization as a series of beings revealed in the shade.
Lim sodam has been interacting between materials essentially forming shape between painting and sculpture. Lim participated in solo exhibitions Rainforest (Sangsangmadang, 2011), Eclipse (Gallery Skape, 2015), The Bird and the Cage (Onground 2, 2016), and Shape of Memories (Project Space SARUBIA, 2018), as well as in forty group exhibitions. She selected artist for Canada Banff and Kuemho artist in residency program. Her works were collected by the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art and MMCA.
The Great Collection is a private collection that could be for anyone who seriously adores art. TGC has launched an exhibition series that attempts to present for an individual audience in a private way. Currently staying in an old inn house to present undiscovered and emerging artist works, TGC continues to discover anonymous spaces to create space narratives as art in action. TGC hopes to plant an authentic art community to share, collaborate, and add value to life in this contemporary society.
