media such as ceramic and porcelain plates, Asian lanterns and fans blending
Western and Eastern techniques.
For several years now the family has conducted numerous art workshops,
seminars, exhibits and on-the-spot painting demonstrations here and abroad.
Their partnership with SM Supermalls has opened the eyes of many to the beauty
and elegance of the Chinese arts.
The Cham Lim family aims to create art that does not exclude any media;
they have continuously pushed the envelope on the type of media used for the
Chinese brush. Their art subjects included flora, fauna, landscape and even
portraits. These themes can be seen in most of the family’s art, as well
as their students. The family is one of the few remaining notable Chinese brush
painting artists in the country today and is sought after in this field.
