Anita Lim (b. 2004) is a sculptor and visual artist based in Chicago whose work reimagines the potential of everyday materials. Through cardboard, wood, and pigment, she constructs bold, non-representational forms that challenge ideas of scale, permanence, and perception.

Guided by an experimental process, Lim transforms humble matter into commanding presences — objects that feel at once improvised and deliberate. Her work often hovers between sculpture and painting, treating surface and structure as equal forces in shaping how space is felt.

At the core of Lim’s practice is a pursuit of transformation — not only of material, but of meaning. Her ongoing body of work reflects an ambition to expand sculpture beyond convention, pushing it toward something visceral, playful, and alive.
