Sopheap Pich: The Pulse Within
Tyler Rollins Fine Art
12 Nov 2009 – 9 Jan 2010

With The Pulse Within, Sopheap Pich has looked deep into himself – and also into the psyche of Cambodia – to investigate the troubling currents swirling beneath the surface of daily life.

Issues of time, memory, and the body are integral to Pich’s work. For this solo exhibition at Tyler Rollins Fine Art, he has created a dynamic group of sculptural forms derived from the internal organs of the human body, such as the heart, lungs, and intestines. These function as visceral reminders of the past and of the intimate, physical connections between human beings.

In a time when Cambodia and its people are focused on the realities of daily life and the challenges of economic development, Pich carves out a space of reflection upon the deeper issues that underlie Cambodian society.

Sopheap Pich (b. 1971, Cambodia) is now considered to be Cambodia’s most prominent contemporary artist. Although his works are now exhibited around the world, he remains firmly rooted in Cambodia. Its vibrant culture and often tragic history continue to inspire his work.

    从最后一张图片看起来Junk Nutrients的尺寸好像处理的不错,唯造型又和第三张不同。角度问题?或另一件作品?

    在有限的图片和文本脉络的缺席下,唯我必须误读作品‘Raft’的底部的两支造型为KLCC来增加由观看图片来欣赏雕塑的乐趣。
