Sack Tin Lim (b. 1990) is a painter from Sabah who is currently based in Kuala Lumpur. Sack emerged within the Malaysian art scene with his expressive portraits of individuals within Malaysia’s transgender community, the subject of his debut solo exhibition Un/Hidden Identities in 2023 (G13 Gallery, KL). His practice explores the makings and trappings of identity, and how through ornaments and appearances, individuals craft their own identity through a process not unlike that of painting.

Sack received his Bachelor of Arts in Oil Painting from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, China, and his Diploma in Illustration from The One Academy, Malaysia. Since his return to Malaysia, he has had two solo exhibitions to date: Cherry Blossom (2024, Temu House, KL) and Un/Hidden Identities: Painting Lives (2023, G13 Gallery, KL). In 2021, he was the recipient of the Silver Award (Emerging) in the annual UOB Painting of the Year Award.
