The Inspiring Chan Lim Lantern Exhibit at SM North EDSA
Hello po!
I greatly appreciate works of art. If I were to choose between going to a bar or a museum, I would choose the latter in the blink of an eye.
That's why I signed up agad agad when I learned there is a FREE calligraphy workshop in a blogger event last January 24, 2016!
Sm North EDSA's first activity for the coming Chinese New Year is the unveiling of over 100 hand painted Chinese lanterns by the notable (one of the few remaining, and sought after!) Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students.
Called A New Light of Prosperity, Sm City North EDSA presents a grand collection of Chinese Lanterns as a wish for a bright future.
Featuring works from 35 artists, the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students exhibits more than a thousand art works yearly in different venues nationwide. To date, they have staged the fourteenth exhibit.
Their paintings are in collections here and abroad.
Of course, I will not dare miss having a photo-op with the family patriarch, Mr. Jose Chan Lim, who is also fondly called "Ang Kong". He has dabbled in Western art and specializes in oil and watercolor.
They also served heart warming Chinese food from Lugang Cafe. Partaking yummy dishes in the same table with dear blogger friends is always a joy!
Grand performance of well loved Chinese music from the Grace Christian College Chinese Orchestra.
On the spot painting demo by Dr. Alex Chan Lim.
No prior sketch with pencil, straight on the paint brush with light strokes on the rice paper.
He jokes that if he makes a mistake while painting, he will not announce it so you will think it is still going on smoothly.
Bamboo, chrysanthemum and landscape were painted swiftly by Dr. Alex Chan Lim's experienced hands.
My work hehe! We were taught that day by Chan Lim students. Since I can write Chinese words/characters (studied in a Chinese school) I know the brush is called mo pit and the black ink is called o bak.
Chan Lim Family launched artworks in different materials like scroll, fan, lantern and porcelain plate. (Insider tip: Egg shells are in the pipeline!)
These paintings can last a long time. Make sure to protect them from sunlight!
Let's take a tour of the Chan Lim Family's Artworks in Lanterns-
Lanterns are known as traditional decoration for the Chinese Culture and are widely used in grand celebrations. The big lantern with a beautiful peacock in the middle is by Chan Lim himself.

Young and old, they come from different backgrounds, fields, profession, for different reasons- as a form of therapy, hobby etc! Yes, Filipinos or any nationality is welcome. Visit their studio in Rosario, Pasig. Enrollment- 10 sessions, choose from Saturday or Sunday classes.
