Hello everybody! Its been a while but there’s a new exhibition on the horizon. It’s always wondrous how life works and how lives intersect. Almost a year ago I was introduced to the wondrous Alley Michelle of AlleyWho fame. She shared with me her grand idea of committing to an exhibition with a difference and one that was close to my heart. Alley Michelle, an accomplished artist, and entrepreneur accomplished the unenviable task of coordinating a group of seriously talented artists from Gotham Studios and myself to create work on the theme of Heart + Hope Cambodia. We were to create a exhibition of contemporary art responding to the contemporary issues of my home country – which are many but ever the optimist I also see the possibilities. As a Cambodia artist it was an honour to be involved and to have the wonderful feedback from Artists such as Michael Doherty and Jan Altmann. And while I didn’t produce any ‘new’ work per se the exhibition forced me to lift my game to a new level.

My painting is a response to the title of the Exhibition – Heart + Hope. The painting occupies a psychological space in which the heart and hope and inextriciably linked, one cannot be without the other. We cannot hope without using our hearts and at the core of our hearts is an innate wellspring of hope.  The abstracted figure of man symbolises our shared humanity, the sky is a metaphor for an unlimited and open potential,  and the sea also provides a link back to our shared ancestry or the ‘ocean of humanity’. It is only through using our hearts and being open to hope can we ‘rise above’ the currents of oppression and injustice. Above the waves is the light of a new day.

Please share this page with your friends and schedule this exhibition into your diaries. 50 Percent of all proceeds go to assisting Cambodian causes. See you there!!

October has been a busy month for painting, which is probably why it’s taken till the end of October to finally create a post about it! (That, and my propensity for procrastination…)

Late last month I was involved in the wonderful group exhibition ‘Expressions’ at the Old Bakery, Maylands. This month I was involved in a group exhibition with Interactive Arts headed by the wonderful Fleur Allen, called Seasons at the wonderfully charming Moores Contemporary Art Building.

A little less than a year ago, Fleur canvassed her Interactive Arts members for a theme for an exhibition at the said building. And yours truely, actually thought of the idea as I was thinking about the ‘seasons’ of our lives, and of nature. Fleur loved the idea and the rest is history!

Most of the paintings were completed in the October holidays just two weeks before the holidays. But even with such little time I was really happy with the results and I hope you are too. Here’s the paintings. AND I’m pleased to say two sold just a day or two before opening night. Yay!

I must also say, the paintings were hugely influenced by a painting workshop held by the amazing Malini Parker. Her grace, wisdom and knowledge of how to bring out our inner artists would be hard to beat. She supported me in my conscious effort to experiment with more abstract techniques and to consider the amount of ‘emotional intensity’ I could place on the canvas.

Overall my concept for the Seasons artworks was not to just create pretty pictures of flowers for Spring and Snowy landscape for winter but to deeper explore the connotations and feelings we experience in these seasons. I wanted to communicate the seasons we have for our minds,  and the seasons for our lives. So yes the paintings are a shift away from my ‘usual’ style but I hope they still evoke the feelings that my paintings usually evoke.

In June of 2010 I had my second solo exhibition called ‘The Flight of Icarus’ at Ellis House Community Arts Centre in Bayswater. It was a the fulfilment of a dream to have an art exhibition there when I was 16. ‘The Flight of Icarus was an exhibition about having the courage to ‘fly’ and to follow one’s dreams despite the costs. It did very very as well.

It was a perfect, balmy summer’s evening on the 5th February when 50 – 60 people packed into Kulcha and celebrated the opening of my first solo Art Exhibition ‘The Mango Tree’. Wine flowed, food was munched on and yours truely worked very hard to try and talk to everybody. I want to thank everyone for coming, and I believe it was a great night to have by all!
I recieved some wonderful feedback about the works, and how the venue’s bold colours complemented my own work. It was quite magical having a few seconds to rest on the balcony sipping on some juice and and watching Fremantle’s Cafe culture come to life.
Thank you so again so much for those who came. I also realised that quite a number weren’t able to make it considering the timing of the exhibition and it’s short duration. So for those who didn’t make it (and even if you did) I’d like to invite you and your friends to meet me and my friends for drinks and get together at the following:
Sundowner @ Kulcha
From 6pm Sunday 28th February 2010
@ Kulcha 13 South Terrace above Dome Cafe
Fremantle
Once again, thank you for supporting my dreams, and I hope to talk to you all soon!
warmest regards
