Sokuntevy Oeur´s work is based on her life experiences and observations, for her an endless source of humor, curiosity and absurdity. In her new series of oil paintings, she reflects her first experiences of moving from Cambodia to Berlin. She became quite enthralled in people’s behavior on public transportation. She enjoyed observing people while riding around the city, the way they are stuck in time. Her dizzying compositions use a wide range of colors and patterns, subverting points of view, creating a pseudo-psychedelic effect. - www.sokuntevy.com
