About ART for Kep
The Kep West team is delighted to share the exceptional journey that led to the creation of this upscale beach destination designed for a “new generation of travelers”. But to make it truly exceptional, Kep West wanted to bring ART into the equation.
Art and luxury tourism
“ART has the power to express our human identity, our imagination and our emotional power. That's why we're launching this project, a private art initiative that aims to transform the landscape and identity of Kep,” says the Kep West team, adding:
“We are delighted to present the project's first work of art: Coral Kingdom. This monumental 5.7-metre-high sandstone sculpture is a symbol of unity and collaboration between local, provincial and national stakeholders. It represents the beauty of the sea and our coastal region, and will be a beacon of hope for environmental conservation.”
Artist Sothea Thang
Thang Sothea, the talented Cambodian artist behind Coral Kingdom, has captured the essence of the coastal region's beauty and the importance of preserving it for future generations. His expertise with Bloom Architects brought this vision to life through his architectural and engineering prowess.
A certain vision
According to Kep West founder Jef Moons, the mission around ART for Kep is to transform the resort's landscape by promoting private artistic initiatives that can enhance the beauty and identity of the coastal region.
“By collaborating with local, provincial and national stakeholders, we aim to create a cultural haven that inspires and promotes environmental conservation. Join us in supporting our mission to promote Cambodian artists”, he says, recalling:
“Our vision is to make Kep a world-renowned cultural destination that celebrates the beauty of our coastal region and promotes environmental conservation through private artistic initiatives. We aspire to foster a community of creativity, collaboration and inspiration that attracts visitors supports Cambodian artists.”
