William Lim has come full circle. Sixteen years ago, the Hong Kong architect held his first solo exhibition of photographs at Grotto gallery. In June, Lim mounted an exhibit-only show of his oil paintings created during the stay-at-home phases of the ongoing pandemic.
While Lim's architecture firm CL3 is known for designing interiors and architecture projects across the region, art enthusiasts also remember it for Lantern Wonderland. Installed in 2011 as a Victoria Park Mid-Autumn Festival centerpiece under the aegis of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the fish sculpture comprised more than 2,500 red lanterns.
