This is more than a daydream despite the artist Lim Keh Soon titling it so. It is a nightmare where humans, mutants and strange creatures interact in bizarre situations, reminiscent of Chan Kok Hooi’s Theatre of the Absurd, such as Chan’s Raksaksa (2004) and Boleh! (2003). Lim is no newcomer to the Kuala Lumpur art scene, having touted his works in Central Market and Phillip Wong’s previous gallery in Lot 10. While Lim’s denizens go about their lives without creating chaos or disturbing others, the debauchery and the tension of genetic mutation among Man, animals and insects suggests a topsy-turvy world. What is the Slug Man, the largest by scale, doing with its balloon of rocks? Is it related to the man’s head showing the top half popping up from the ground? Funny effluents, man in Superman costume ravaging a woman (or is it a sex dolls?), the head with wings, barren trees, the man with intestinal tentacles… Lim is one of the prime-movers behind the Findars experimental and multimedia art space, which first had its base in the Central Market annexe. He was featured in the AbsurdCity exhibition organised by the National Art Gallery. He graduated with a Diploma in Illustration from the Malaysian Institute of Art, Kuala Lumpur, in 2003.
