Artist: Lim Khim Katy
Lim Khim Katy is the child of a Cambodian father and a Vietnamese mother who met during an art class. Katy was born in 1978 in Ho Chi Minh City and graduated from the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Art University in 2001. Despite her relative youth, she was featured in her first solo exhibition in Hanoi in 2005. In her first exhibition outside the country (Bangkok, 2006) every piece sold out – an amazing feat for a young artist.
Since graduation, Katy has received six prizes and certificates of merit for 5 separate paintings. She draws her inspiration from her life experiences and her interaction with others and feels compelled to record her observations on canvas. Her figurative works can be edgy and psychologically powerful with the subjects’ eyes shedding light on their emotional state. Katy's art often reflects hardship, a middle class striving to make life better or misery caused by poverty. Her landscapes are flooded with vibrant color yet remain tranquil and serene. Remaining true to her distinctive style, Lim Khim Katy conveys
strong emotions that are deeper than what the eyes can see on the canvas. She normally only uses painting knives and
a very limited colour palette
Lim Khim Katy has achieved the following:
2001 - Certificate of merit at Vietnam National Fine Arts Exhibition for the painting "Naptime"
Certificate of merit at Asia Pacific Contemporary Fine Arts Exhibition organized by Philip Morris for the painting "The Power of Numbers"Certificate of merit of section 6 exhibition for the painting "Silence"
2003 - Award from the Vietnam Literary and Artistry Association at Section 6 Exhibition for the painting "Empty Bowls"
2004 -Third prize of Young’s Eyes Exhibition organized by the Consulate General of France and the Vietnam Literary and Artistry Association for the painting "Empty Bowls"
Consultation prize at Vietnam ethnic minority artists exhibition organized by the Fine Arts Association for the painting "Everyone has his own dream"
2005 - Solo Exhibition in Hanoi, Vietnam
Certificate of merit at Vietnam National Fine Arts Exhibition for the painting "Black Sea"
Award from the Vietnam Association at Section 6 Exhibition for the painting "Asian Woman"
International Exhibition in Museum Vietnam for the painting "Thinking of Another People"
2006 - Solo Exhibition "Symphony of Thoughts" at La Lanta Fine Arts in Bangkok, Thailand
Lim Khim Katy is without doubt one of the best artists in Vietnam, if not the world. There are extensive collection worldwide.
