You Khin Untitled (The Tailors and the Mannequins) 1981 Oil on canvas 83 × 60 cm
This painting was made while the artist You Khin lived and worked in Ivory Coast in West Africa. Born in Cambodia, You Khin lived in Africa and the Middle East from the 1970s to the 2000s, and was even a refugee and a stateless person for a period of time. Like many of his artworks, this painting is a frank portrayal of You Khin’s encounters with people and cultures in a place unfamiliar to him. Dalam Southeast Asia is an experimental project space located within the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery. Projects presented here ask critical questions and explore lesser-known narratives in Southeast Asian art, while rethinking what a collections-based display is and what it may seek to achieve. On display at Dalam Southeast Asia in the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery. The Tailors and the Mannequins: Chen Cheng Mei and You Khin.
