Cambodian urban art auction today in Phnom Penh
The gallery is teaming up with Princess Ermine Norodom, who runs the foundation Shanty Town Spirit, for a charity art auction at the Sofitel hotel in Phnom Penh in which 20 pieces by 11 renowned local and foreign artists will go under the hammer.
Money raised from the event will go to Shanty Town Spirit, which works to help communities make sustainable improvements to their lives, with participating artists including FONKI, Chifumi, Peap Tarr and Theo Vallier. Works up for sale consist of a diverse assortment of styles and motifs, varying from spray-painted street murals to sculptures made from rusty metal.

Re: Cambodian urban art auction today in Phnom Penh
Rebirth by FONKI is a very enjoyable view of the painting. I hope the artists do well for the cause. It would be good to see a follow up on this thread.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Interview with a Phnom Penh street artist.
6 July 2018
The walls tell stories
Eileen McCormick / Khmer Times
You’ve probably passed by walls on the wide and narrow streets of Phnom Penh that are painted with different figures, shapes and colours – some made you stop and smile, some probably just received displeased stares. This is street art – a kind of visual art that takes artworks outside traditional venues. And though it has not fully burgeoned in the Kingdom yet, it’s surely starting to make the art scene more alive than it ever was – thanks to street artists, like David Myers aka Davido, who continuously take their creative pursuits into the streets and public spaces for people to see. The 20-year-old mural painter shares what drives his artistry with Eileen McCormick.
