CHAN DANY
Born in 1984, Chan Dany sees himself as part of a new age of Cambodians, whose tastes are altered almost unconsciously by a global economy. He embraces the new alongside his deliberate inclusion of the traditional; when he paints ancient characters, Chan offers incense at a shrine near his workstation while listening to K-pop. While honoring traditional ritual and rules on perspective, his bright color combinations are more typical of festive decorations today.
