[About the Artist]
LIM Subeom focuses on mythical entities and imagined scenes that appear at the edges of ambiguous, unknowable realms. He envisions vast worlds as organic networks, and his paintings reflect a sensuous awareness of the self as part of that whole.
Born in Gwangju in 1997, LIM studied Western painting at Chonbuk National University. He has held solo exhibitions at Sangsup Gallery (2023–2024, Seoul) and Art Space JIP (2022, Gwangju), and has recently participated in group exhibitions at the Gwangju Biennale Pavilion (2024), Arario Gallery Seoul, Daejeon Museum of Art, and Horanggasy Art Polygon, among others.
