Ce fut un plaisir d’être présent pour l’exposition « Rooted » de l’artiste Chov Theanly explore la transformation de la vie et la guérison psychologique à travers la culture et la foi, avec des œuvres incluant peintures, installation et vidéo. L’artiste, après avoir surmonté des périodes d’incertitude, a trouvé apaisement dans les traditions animistes et la connexion avec la nature, en particulier dans la région d’Angkor. Les premières toiles représentent des scènes de la nature, notamment des arbres et des forêts, avec l’eau comme symbole de purification spirituelle. Une vidéo dans la deuxième galerie montre l’artiste méditant et appliquant de la feuille d’or sur une pierre, symbole de paix et de continuité de l’esprit. L’exposition invite le public à redécouvrir les anciennes traditions khmères et leur relation avec la nature.(English below)

It was a pleasure to be present at the « Rooted » exhibition by artist Chov Theanly explores the transformation of life and psychological healing through culture and faith, featuring paintings, an installation, and a video. After overcoming periods of uncertainty, the artist found peace in animist traditions and a connection with nature, particularly in the Angkor region. The first paintings depict scenes from nature, especially trees and forests, with water symbolizing spiritual purification. A video in the second gallery shows the artist meditating and applying gold leaf to a stone, symbolizing peace and the continuity of the spirit. The exhibition invites the public to rediscover ancient Khmer traditions and their relationship with nature.

Come and discover the moving and realistic portraits by Theanly Chov, a perpective on all generations and genders of today’s Cambodian society. The characters seem to dream and float. Theanly talks about all the things that relate us to each other , the desire to escape, to rise and just to be who we are.

We are very happy to present this month an exhibition dedicated to the Cambodian artist Than Sok called "The Shapes of Water" at , and curated by

It is the first time that this major Cambodian artist exhibits in France. We will show a series of “all-over” compositions in acrylic featuring motifs repeated across the whole canvas that suggest water in all its aspects. The title of the series refers to Kbach, the traditional Khmer art of decorative ornamentation, transformed by Sok into a meditation on nature and its possible destruction.
