The buzz in Dick Lim’s Contrast Art series comes in all forms of contrasts – colors, shades, shapes, forms, which enhance the definition of each art piece.  His use of such contrasting art styles creates a kind of sheer tension of the subject matter, evoking an expressionistic and profound effect, prompting the viewers to be aware of all the latent possibilities that each piece has its special character – its atmosphere, its moods, and its contrasts.  Dick ‘s works portray so many wonderful opposites: darkness and light, peace and chaos, subtlety and candor, intensity and subduedness, etc. where pure colors against subtly nuanced shades of black and white, e.g. grab your attention as they interact, capture your imaginations and grow on you.
