Artist, Loeum Lorn’s contemporary Buddhist art reflects impermanence of life
PHNOM PENH POST

VIETNAM - The titles of Loeum Lorn Lorn’s works – "Everything is Connected," "Constant Flux," "The Non-Self" – offer a handy insight to their significance for the artist. “My work has a very close connection with the dharma and with Buddhism,” Loeum Lorn explains, “and the dharma is like a natural law to me.” He is one of several Southeast Asian artists who use melting ice as a symbol for life’s swiftly changing nature, but his work is unique in focusing on the fine detail of the process. 'Yesterday, No More' will be on display at the Java Cafe & Gallery, 56 Sihanouk Boulevard, Phnom Penh, until May 13. It is open daily from 7am to 10pm. [link]
