Arts: "Vibrations" Exhibition by Luna Kol, a Challenge to Traditional Khmer Codes

Last night, Franco-Cambodian artist Luna Kol captivated the audience at the opening of her exhibition. For the next two weeks, visitors can immerse themselves in a vibrant and colorful universe where the radiant hues of green, red, and blue evoke an explosion of life and transport the viewer to other dimensions.

Beyond the aesthetic beauty of her works, Luna Kol's exhibition is a true invitation to an inner journey. The artist, deeply grateful to Julie Thai, the gallery owner, emphasizes the latter's audacity in choosing to promote contemporary and abstract art, breaking away from traditional Khmer codes. Indeed, Luna Pol's canvases, bursting with color and movement, challenge the usual representations of landscapes and portraits, opening up new perspectives on Cambodian art.

This exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover the diversity of artistic expressions and to demonstrate that contemporary art has a place in Cambodia. Alongside Luna Kol's works, visitors could admire the oil paintings of Christian Develter and the material explorations of Chan Dany and Sothea Thang.

Through her work as a gallery owner, Julie Thai tirelessly strives to offer the Cambodian public a rich and varied program, blending international influences with Khmer cultural roots. Her exhibitions serve as bridges between tradition and modernity, inviting everyone to rediscover art in all its forms.
