Exhibition Opens to Public: November 14 – December 2 2023

Come see the tales of people come to life in the form of rustic wood sculptures that may remind you of perhaps someone and somebody. The Legend 傳·說 is a showcase featuring new works by one of Singapore’s most known sculptors, Lim Soo Ngee who consistently delights viewers with his thought-provoking works.

In this exhibition, Lim gives ‘legends’ a playful spin by interrogating the hearsay aspect of such narratives in today’s world. With an extensive collection of anecdotes heard elsewhere and anywhere, Lim creates captivating figurines that are packed with emotive stories of people and their lives through the lens of others. It is important to understand that these sculptures are shaped by the accounts of people, as the artist attempts to pivot the discussion to the rudimentary formation of stories.

As he traces the inkling of a legend and challenges the notion of what should be a legend, Lim invites viewers to relook at how stories are being told and reconnect with the humans present in these tales.
