Information from back of frame:

“Translated literally, the name Lim Ha Shan means “forest summer mountain”, an appropriate beginning for this artist born in Seoul, Korea in 1945.
He received a varied education that included influences and teaching from both western and oriental worlds. This circumstance made him admirably suited for his training as an artist, allowing him to incorporate ideas and traditions from both sides. After leaving university in Korea, Lim made his way through the European and Middle Eastern countries, enjoying contact with the museums and cultures he had studied in his early years.

Deciding to pursue his art studies in the United States, he followed advanced courses at the Pennsylvania Academy. However, Lim has not lost sight nor interest in his heritage, and often chooses subjects that have direct Oriental inspiration. Because he is familiar with many cultures, he combines techniques and ideas with great fluency and skill. His flowing brush strokes, delicate use of pattern and especially his superb color reflect the traditions of the East.

But his work also retains an awareness of the newest contemporary art; his abilities translate equally well into three dimensional form, often drawing on precious or household objects from China, Japan, Korea and India.”
