Opening of Long Kosal exhibition 'Life journey'

We would like to invite you to the upcoming exhibition opening of Long Kosal on the Thursday 3rd of May at 6.30pm at Romeet Gallery in Phnom Penh, 34 road 178.

long_kosal Long Kosal’s first solo exhibition Life Journey explores the artist’s own philosophical study of psychology and the human experience. Fifteen large-scale paintings present expressive mask- like faces made of free-floating ribbons that recede into the background. They powerfully depict a detailed spectrum of human emotion from bliss to hopelessness.

“Human beings have brought with them seeds of the past since their birth and these latter make them “afraid, tearful, shocked, stressed, sad, worried”, hopeless in life. Life’s daily journeys are all governed by the rules of nature and closely interrelated to causes and effects in this Universe.” - Long Kusal.

Kusal studied visual art at Phare Ponleu Selpak from 2002 to 2007 and has participated in numerous group exhibitions around the country.
