Tristan Lim

Tristan Lim is a visual artist whose practice explores the material and existential significance of bodily surface and form in contemporary life, surfacing questions of perception and desire. Drawing from observations into contemporary visual culture, abstract bodies and mutant subjects emerge, often through open-ended narratives. These are expressed through drawings, installations, new media, and procedural digital works.

His work has been featured in group exhibitions at Ota Fine Arts, The Arts House, Singapore Art Museum at 8Q, and The Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore. He has also participated in the Facebook Artist-in-residence (AIR) programme, and presented work in Singapore Night Festival, Singapore Light to Night festival, ART SG, and overseas in Spain, Vietnam and Taiwan. Most recently, he is a recipient of the inaugural NAC-UAS Arts Scholarship in 2024.
