DinArt

DinArt is one of the most important abstract painters in Cambodia. This young, self-taught artist has no art education, yet in the astonishingly short period of 10 years he has become the most popular and well-known abstract painters in Cambodia and earned himself an international reputation. There are two tendencies to note in Din’s oeuvre: one is the inspiration by and abstract expression of cultural and religious heritage (Apsaras and Buddha); the other is his presentation through western style abstract painting of the complexity and problems of society, nature and humankind.

 

Determined to have a signature style, DinArt started to play with colors and textures. He used bold brush strokes to play with the hand gestures integral to the traditional dance form and the sinewy shapes of the limbs to make the figures more abstract, all in bold colors using acrylic on canvas.
