The Art
Of sharing
The Art of living together is by consequence an Art of Sharing.
This one-off exhibition is a collaboration between two Cambodian artists, one impressionist and one surrealist, born from their common reflection on the Covid 19 situation and its consequences.
In these difficult times where the importance of caring, showing kindness, and sharing matters more than ever, artists CHEA Serey and Adana MAM LEGROS felt the need to demonstrate that solidarity should resonate in the mind of every human being. They therefore decided to integrate their Art into an act of sharing by joining in a common exhibition aimed at raising funds for local NGOs working on social and psychological issues.
