SM City North EDSA welcomes the Year of the Rooster with an exquisite exhibit of Plates and Scrolls by the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students at The Block Atrium from Jan. 15 to Feb. 12, 2017.

Throughout the festivities, The Block’s Atrium will be decorated with over 100 beautifully designed hand-painted scrolls and adorned with 144 plates from Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a grand Chinese pagoda accentuated with a Chinese oil painting of Koi fishes, which symbolize success, prosperity, longevity, courage, ambition and perseverance.

The Chan Lim family of Artists and Students. They remain one of the few notable Chinese brush painting artists in the Philippines today. The Chan Lim Family travels together with their students nationwide to grace their events and also conduct free Chinese paintings workshops.  They also conduct art classes in the family studio/gallery located in Pasig City every weekend.
Actor Robin Padilla, A close friend of the Chan Lim family, also joined the launch of Chinese New Year celebrations
at The Block SM City North EDSA
SM City North EDSA Regional Operations Manager Ms. Jocelyn Lapid presented Mr. Jose Chan Lim and Dr. Alex Chan Lim the Chan Lim @80 Commemorative Coin as token of appreciation and recognition to recognize the family patriarch’s contribution to arts and also a celebration of his 80th birthday
THREE GENERATIONS OF CHAN LIM ARTISTS. The family patriarch Jose Chan Lim (middle), his son Dr. Alex Chan Lim (left) and grandson Engr. Geoffrey Chan Lim (right) during the launch of ‘An Exquisite Exhibit of Plates and Scrolls’ at The Block SM City North EDSA. 

The celebrations at SM City North EDSA also coincide with the 80th birthday of the family’s patriarch, Chan Lim or Angkok to his students.  Chan Lim is the name used by the family patriarch in signing all his artworks. The name is formed by combining the last names of the sibling’s parents. His real name is Jose.

It was also Jose Chan Lim who got the family interested in visual arts and painting. He mastered and preferred painting in oil but the Chan Lim siblings embraced their Chinese roots and learned how to use a Chinese brush on rice paper as early as 11 years old.

China is rich in traditional and folk dances which were performed during court rituals and important ceremonies. ‘Yangge’, a Chinese folk dance which evolved from the villages of Northern China, is known as an expression of happiness.
 To welcome the Chinese New Year, SM City North EDSA presented a Chinese traditional Lion and Dragon dance performance to its mallgoers. It is believed that this traditional practice brings luck for the rest of the year. 
A magnificent performance of Chinese traditional dances was executed by the Sindaw Philippines Performing Arts Team.

Surprisingly, none of the Chan Lim Family members have degrees related to the arts. The Chan Lim siblings Alex, Felix, Rolex and Jolex are licensed engineers and connected with multinational companies representing various industries.  Innovation is an important focus area for the family. Coming from different fields and industries, the family was able to create artworks using fans, lanterns, scrolls, and porcelain plates as their canvas.

For 2017, The Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students have eight exhibits scheduled all over the country. The family travels together with their students nationwide to grace their events and also conduct free workshops on Chinese painting. Mallgoers can also meet The Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students at the Artists behind the Brushstrokes event on Jan. 29th at The Block Atrium.

The exhibit also featured original works by Chan Lim like this Chinese oil Painting of Koi Fish. Many believe that Koi fish symbolize good luck, abundance and perseverance. 
Hand-painted porcelain plates are displayed in delicate circular display cabinets 
A predominant format of Chinese painting is the handscroll, a continuous roll of paper or silk of varying lengths. When not being viewed, the scroll remains rolled up.  Rooster painted on scroll by Dr. Pauline

Apart from the exhibit, SM City North EDSA welcomes the Year of the
