NPE Art Residency is pleased to invite you to Eunice Lim’s 4th solo exhibition > Greener Than The Grass. This exhibition is part of the artist‘s sketchbook series that are presented in loose pages; layered to show how various stories build up to form an aspect of each person. > Greener Than The Grass will also be an on-going series to consistently learn and be inspired by people of greatness in the course of the artist’s practice journey.
> Greener than the Grass is meant to subtly reference a similar sounding phrase ‘greater than the past’. Most of the works are painted on green carpets, which the artist has acquired for a previous public engagement project. The approach towards her works differ due to the different materials used, yet being entirely intentional about the representation of the green carpets.
There is a point of divergence in people’s lives, and the artist draws reference to what can be learnt from these influential people that made an impact along the course of history.
Purpose and vision are essential qualities to thrive. There is a saying, “Without vision the people perish.” Yet we often think, ‘the grass is greener on the other side’. We look back and think how great people were, failing to realize that we can walk & pave paths towards greatness ourselves.
The presented artworks are drawn up from significant people in history whom the artist personally relates & looks up to. These are a few of the many people the artist has drawn inspiration from. However, it does not mean the artist aspire to be like them. Some have more traits than others, while others only have victories in a few specific areas that are worth note taking. Therefore, the artist encourages people to learn from various experiences, from various people, and pursue the path of greatness too.
“Potential is a priceless treasure, like gold. All of us have gold hidden within, but we have to dig to get it out.” – Joyce Meyer
The main artworks constitutes people namely Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Alexander the great, Thomas Edison & Vincent Van Gogh. While the smaller drawings consist of a few others such as Albert Einstein and Da Vinci.
