A group of young artists from multiple medium (photography, painting and sculpture) met at the art space. They have created a group independent from any affiliation to other art center in Cambodia. Young and dynamic, they have a different vision of art and being an artist. Hence the designation of Stiev Selapak | Art Rebels. This is a local initiated art association. This association of artists are seeking to promote their art through exhibitions and strengthen art production in Cambodia.
LinDa Saphan launches this association through a first curated exhibition “Men Thoamada” at Gasolina. The support also includes training sessions (such as learning to make a portfolio, international standard of presenting a work of art) for all the artists.
