Profound Afterglow

Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art, New York

Prints of Lenore RS Lim.

New York, NY – Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art (PSCA) announces the opening of a new exhibit entitled Profound Afterglow: Prints of Lenore RS Lim, featuring a survey of work by Filipino artist Lenore RS Lim. The exhibit presents prints by the artist that are included in a new book of the same title which is being published by the GSIS Museum of Art in Manila. The book features a forward by Agnes Gund, chairwoman of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.

Lenore RS Lim, who splits her time between her native Philippines, Vancouver, and New York, is a print maker extraordinaire. She worked alongside Robert Blackburn in his print making workshop and she is a dedicated print maker as she does not produce paintings or drawings. Her prints are known for their sumptuous quality and attention to detail. Lim’s artwork takes cues from the natural environment, especially the mountainous area where her mother now lives outside of Manila. Her work also incorporates photoetchings and etchings derived from cloth and embroidery. The silky beautiful prints are stunning when viewed firsthand.

The forthcoming monograph from the GSIS Museum of Art includes an introduction by Gund, along with an introduction by Paul Sharpe, director of PSCA. The text is written by Filipino scholar Ruben Defeo, who has followed Lim’s career, and an interview of the artist is included by Clint White, the founder of Art Career Network. The book will feature approximately 80 reproductions of Lim’s work along with the texts.

Lenore RS Lim is represented exclusively in New York by Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art, where she has been seen in “Three Women/Three Visions” in April 2002.
