Marcus Lim is a scenic artist and designer whose practice explores the relationship between painting, materials and temporary environments. Working across a spectrum of disciplines, he creates bespoke painted surfaces and environments that combine technical craftsmanship with creative experimentation.

Drawing on theatre, decorative painting, architecture, and contemporary art, Marcus approaches painting as both a technical craft and a spatial language. His work investigates how material choices shape artistic expression and spatial experience, exploring alternative and experimental approaches with material research.

Alongside his practice, Marcus is developing a longer-term interest in the future of scenic painting and material practice. He investigates how traditional techniques can evolve in response to changing environmental and material contexts, developing more sustainable approaches that retain the craft, atmosphere, and expressive qualities of painted surfaces. His practice sits at the intersection of craft, culture, and environmental responsibility.
