Opening April 18- RELIEFS SOPHEAP PICH
Tyler Rollins Fine Art
April 18 – June 14, 2013
Artist: Sopheap Pich
Opening Reception: Thursday, April 18, 6:00 – 8:00 pm
In a solo exhibition of new works, Sopheap Pich (b. 1971) presents a focused series of orthogonal wall reliefs weighted with materials native to Cambodia’s land and history. Burlap, beeswax, charcoal, and earth pigments combine on Pich’s rigid bamboo and rattan grids to express his increasingly conceptual and minimalistic sensibilities while retaining a corporeal quality so prominent in his earlier works. Pich debuted the wall relief series for his installation in dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel, Germany last summer.
This exhibition is organized with IN RESIDENCE, the Visual Art program of Season of Cambodia, a Living Arts Festival.
