Ora-Ora is delighted to announce the first solo show at its gallery by celebrated Hong Kong artist William Lim. Titled Time After Time, it opens on March 24, 2026. Time After Time is composed of 23 paintings, executed at the beautiful WestLake in Hangzhou as the seasons unfolded over 2024 and 2025. Largely painted outdoors, often in sweltering heat and biting cold,each canvas is saturated with the immediate sensation of light, air, and weather, generating an immersive space that invites us tocontemplate permanence through transience, and deep history through the fleeting present. Embracing the opportunity of repetition, Lim visited the same viewpoints at varying times to allow for a combination of consistencyof form with contrasts of colour, tone and mood. Lake, architecture and nature form a beautiful synthesis. Lim’s love for flowers and gardens, influenced by pilgrimages to sites like Monet’s Giverny, is a pursuit of the “Flowing Spirit”—an attempt to capture the essential breath and atmosphere of a place, a concept that resonates across artistic hemispheres. The West Lake has inspired artists and poets for thousands of years, and its rich legacy informs every brushstroke.
