Ted Pim’s latest exhibition, Loinnir, is the incarnation of his relentless experiments with light and cultural symbols. Loinnir is an Irish word meaning radiance, gleam, or shimmer. It symbolizes enlightenment not only in optical or physical sense but also in the metaphysical and intangible senses. Drawing on this Irish heritage, Pim’s current practice appropriates classical motifs and Old Masters’ imagery through repetition, cropping, and radical recontextualization, transforming the familiar into the uncanny. By doing so, Pim’s works are stripped of original narratives and resist narrative closure. Loinnir becomes a reimagined and reanimated hallucinatory space.
