Oeur Sokuntevy studied painting at the Phare Ponleu Selpak. She became a feminist by default. She rejects the model from the Ch’bab Srey (Code of Conduct for Women from the 19th century). Her works on paper question the familial roles of women, their social status and intimate relationships, as well as her own identity. There is a sadness and a longing that is present in her work which emanates from her sense of social displacement Sareth began his studies at the Phare Ponleu Selpak School. Since 2002, he has continued his studies in France, and earned the Diplôme National Supérieur d'Études des Arts Plastiques. He offers us different kinds of work-which invite us to discover his imaginary space - situated at the intersection of performance, of the figurative, of the abstract, of the theatrical and the ironic -where the visible is always next to the invisible.
