“IN THE BALANCE” EXHIBITION



Rosewood Phnom Penh Presents In The Balance


Rosewood Phnom Penh Art Gallery is a sophisticated and contemporary exhibition space for guests and art connoisseurs to view and experience both distinguished and emerging Cambodian artists. A total space of 112 square meters, it is located on the 35th floor, and includes two areas. The Art Gallery’s first exhibition, “In the Balance” will feature artistic collaboration ranging from textile creations, delicate paintings and sculptures, to the more traditional forms of drawing and painting using both traditional Khmer and contemporary designs. “In the Balance” was curated by Sasha Constable, herself a sculptor, print maker and painter from a long line of Constable artists dating back to her ancestor John Constable, a British landscape artist (1776-1837).

CHHOEUN CHANNY

Born 1988, Battambang, Cambodia

- 3 -


In 1998, Channy’s family relocated to the jungle approximately 100 kilometers from Battambang. The move was part of a government scheme to give underprivileged families land so they could farm for a living. As a young boy, Channy’s sketchbook was the dirt he walked upon while his tool was a stick to draw with. Drawing allowed Channy to escape to another reality. This creative freedom not only gave him a feeling of happiness, but people also began noticing his artistic skills. Teachers at school often gave him rewards for his artwork, but it was his father who recognized his talent and potential. When he heard about a school that provided free - 4 education in Battambang called Phare Ponleu Selpak, Channy was enrolled in 2006; he graduated in 2013. Passionate about birds and their relationship with humans and the environment, Channy is keen to share the dangers that befall wildlife in our modern world. Like many young people in Cambodia, he enjoyed chasing and killing birds with catapults; but his outlook changed in his late teens when he became aware of the vulnerability of birds and animals, and the impact human behavior has on their existence. In November 2016, he had his first solo exhibition in Siem Reap, a near sold-out exhibition. This new series of paintings on show at Rosewood Phnom Penh’s Art Gallery will be his first exhibition for three years in Phnom Penh, while his last showing was in 2014 at the Institute Francais.

THE ART PIECES

The theme of Channy’s work carries on from his first solo exhibition in Siem Reap in November 2016 where he focused on beautiful birds and the challenges for survival they face due to climate change, pollution and detrimental human behavior. The contrast of exquisite birds on a backdrop of arid landscapes or struggling with being ensnared with human waste is a very poignant symbol for our environment. Ultimately, Channy hopes to educate people through his paintings. By understanding the negative impact people have on the Earth’s precious wildlife and environment, increased awareness and changes in habits can and will have a lasting impact; there is always hope breaking through.
