Cambodian Art at the Dupont Circle Store
The Khmer Art Gallery, located in Philadelphia since 2006, has partnered with Second Story Books to promote Cambodian culture through the sale of art created by Cambodian artists following the end of the communist Khmer Rouge Regime (1975-1979).
Pru Kear, a highly regarded Buddhist sculptor, travelled throughout the country recovering wood from temples, monasteries and other historic structures to create his art. The works of Pru Kear being offered for sale were made between 1979-1984. The sandstone, both pink and white, used for the sculptures which replicate traditional Cambodian pieces is similar to that used at Angkor Wat and was sourced near the ancient temple complex. Other sculptures being offered for sale are comprised of Cambodian marble.
Three acrylic paintings and two sandstone sculptures are by the artist Asasax. The works of Mr. Asasax, now retired, are in the private collections of diplomats and other Cambodian dignitaries.
