Roeun Sokhom graduated from Phare Ponleu Selpak in 2008 and is a leading figure in Battambang’s dynamic art community. His practice encompasses watercolour, oil and acrylic painting, as well as performance and installation. Sokhom founded Studio Art Battambang in 2012, the city’s only artist-run space dedicated to discussion and creation, rather than exhibition. He has collaboratively organized numerous “live painting” and performance events in Battambang’s streets, in an attempt to engage large audiences of local residents, such as market sellers.
