Having tried out different media such as silkscreen, photography, charcoal, ceramics and acrylics, Lim began to paint oils in April 2020. "Everyone was working from home, swimming pools were closed, holidays were delayed - and I had all this time on my hands," he says. He painted every day over the course of a year. "In between overseeing the work at CL3, I would paint either at home or in my office. My paintings became a sort of diary, chronicling everyday life during the pandemic."
