Chath pierSath Exhibition
Tally Beck Contemporary Gallery
This event has ended.
Tally Beck Contemporary presents Cambodian artist Chath pierSath’s second New York solo exhibition, Witnesses of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. The show will feature new multimedia work by the artist, including painting, collage and sculpture.
Chath pierSath is a Cambodian artist, poet and humanitarian. He lost much of his family during the Khmer Rouge regime and was forced into a labor camp as a child before fleeing to Thailand in 1979. In 1981, he immigrated to the United States. He later earned in his BA at World College West in international service and development.
PierSath works mainly with painting and collage and frequently experiments with media, often repurposing and recycling materials such as wooden slats and roof shingles. His paintings are deeply expressionistic and seem to attempt to reconcile haunting memories of his childhood with his life in the United States and humanitarian work in Cambodia.
