Lim Puoch

Lim Puoch is an oil painter whose work focuses on capturing time and space of the mundane, particularly those experiences often overlooked, yet essential for human function. Puoch’s current body of work delves into the intimate spaces of bathrooms and the items found within. Puoch views these spaces as sanctuaries where individuals can cleanse, incubate, and reset.

In their paintings, each item within the bathroom serves as a symbol of utility, whether it be a tool for cleansing or cleaning. Lim is intrigued by the universal experience of respect and privacy that bathrooms afford, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. They perceive this daily ritual of personal hygiene as a quiet luxury—a moment of solitude and reflection amidst the bustle of everyday life.
