Art explosion

Chhim Sothy at his last solo exhibition

In half an hour I'm off to visit a new exhibition of paintings at the Reyum Gallery by contemporary Khmer artists, Khun Sovanrith and Venn Savat. 23 paintings in all, a mix of sceneries, still life and abstracts. I'll report back later. One of my favourite Khmer artists, Chhim Sothy has a new exhibition of his work coming up, opening on the 16th at Chinese House on Sisowath Quay and ongoing until the end of the month. Titled 'New Musings,' Sothy will include his beautifully detailed Cambodian figures against traditional motifs and backgrounds. I'll definitely be at Thursday's opening party.
