Street Art

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Street Art

Post by Duncan »

Yesterday I walked down a street with big murals painted on the building. Quite refreshing.

It's just a pity that in PP some people in charge are only there for the money and not there to make the city more beautiful. Remember the big mural painted on the ''white building'' a year or so ago . Are there any murals in Cambodia ?

More street art I spotted on my walk today. I think maturity has made me more conscious of street arts over street tarts these days.

I agree though, there's a lot of beauty in well-made graffiti and murals. Adds so much colour to a city. Public art isn't a big thing here. Here are a few from one of my last visits back home:

It's not as huge as it is in many western cities, but there is a burgeoning scene. I know a few of the artists involved. Chifumi,Theo Vallier and Lisa Mam are some of the better known ones. Lisa is actually a dentist.

Very cool, I'm an old wall dog, I got in the sign business when computers and plotters was taking over and made all those old sign painters obsolete, but got to learn some hand painting skills and use to get out and make some side money painting business signs on the side of brick buildings.

Central and South America are covered in murals, and they are some great artists.

Hi Duncan, have you ever heard about Boeung Kak district in PP ? ( " Lakeside " as they call it ) They're is a street art project going on there since 2 or 3 years. Many khmer artists and thai ones came there. You should go check it !

Can't open your file though
