A blank canvas

GALLERIST Lim Ju Lynn prides herself on being different from her counterparts. "I have the ability to see a piece of art and know if it would fit into a home," she says. By that she means she knows which pieces are more appropriate for museums and galleries, and which would fit in a residence.

Her home, a three-bedroom, 1,200 sq ft apartment in the Bukit Timah area, is a testament to that. A variety of artwork hangs on the walls, from photos, prints, paintings to an installation of a pair of slippers. Yet the space still feels homey rather than gallery-like.

"We have an idea of where each artwork will go, but we do try different placements around the home. Sometimes, we rotate the smaller pieces of artwork as well," says Ms Lim. By we, she is referring to herself and her husband, who works in the healthcare industry. She declines to give his name.
