Relief 1993

Editor: This is Kim Lim's "Relief," a print from the Tate. I'm struck by its subtle energy, the way the lines vibrate within those structured rectangles. What do you see in this piece, beyond the immediate geometry? Curator: It whispers, doesn’t it? Lim was so influenced by the light and space of landscapes, even though this is abstract. The textured areas feel like shifting sands or water rippling. Do you sense that interplay between order and chaos? Editor: Absolutely. It’s almost meditative, the way the eye moves between the defined shapes and the free-flowing lines. Curator: Exactly! It invites a quiet contemplation, doesn't it? It’s a reminder that even within rigid structures, there's always room for fluidity and change. I leave this with a new appreciation of Lim's work.
