The talented Chan Lim family headed by their patriarch Jose Chan Lim, also known as Angkok, held an exhibit that showcased 300 artworks painted by more than 40 artists that include members of the family and their students at the Mega Fashion Hall in SM Megamall. The first Chan Lim exhibit was in 1995 also at SM Megamall, and it is just fitting that the largest display of artworks so far would also be held in the artistic family’s first exhibit home.
With a Chinese pagoda and fire monkey statue in the backdrop, the artists used Chinese scrolls, oil paintings, lanterns and porcelain plates as their canvas – creating a fusion of Eastern and Western techniques with different brush strokes that made use of oil and watercolor as a medium
Angkok and his four sons – Dr. Alex, Dr. Felix, Rolex, and Jolex – have been involved in art for more than 40 years, with the family also successfully producing art exhibits internationally. Nature, animals, still life, Chinese paintings, and sceneries from the Philippines, China, and United States are among the subjects of the Chan Lim artworks. The family also conducts art workshops, seminars and painting demonstrations to share their eknowledge and talent to friends and aspiring artists.
During the event, the Grace Christian College 100-piece orchestra serenaded the guests with Chinese music to kick off the event.
