Art Imitates Life: Interview with Sopheap Pich

Well known for his sculptures and paintings made from materials such as bamboo, rattan and burlap sacks, Cambodian artist Sopheap Pich exhibited work at the Institut Français in Phnom Penh this year. Titled “Sopheap Pich: de l'atelier à l’oeuvre,” the exhibition featured the artist’s work alongside selections from his personal collection of art and antiques, as well as studio utensils and miscellanea such as seeds and stones that he accumulated throughout his travels and daily life. ArtAsiaPacific had the privilege of meeting with the artist to discuss his creative process and his penchant for naturally occurring forms drawn from nature.
