Andrew Hem “Cold Water” At LeBasse Projects
Yesterday, we pointed you towards Melissa Haslam’s “Kigurumi” at LeBasse Projects Chinatown Los Angeles location. Now, we bring you the information for the opening of Andrew Hem’s “Cold Water” at their Culver City space.
“After focusing his 2010 body of work on his Cambodian heritage and how different his life might have been should his family have stayed during the regime of the Khmer Rouge, Hem now moves forward with an even more introspective series of paintings.
The new paintings explore the feeling of isolation we get when removed from those close to us – and the ensuing personal darkness that follows. As the viewer progresses through the paintings we can see how Hem emerges from those dark places and finds the road back to happiness.”
