Greetings:

Tonight at Meta House from 6 pm is Blush with the Past, a new exhibition of paintings by Ny Vannak.  “Sculptures of antiquity, from both the west and east, are recreated on canvas, blooming with elaborate pigmentation; a vigorous approach to reinventing ancient portraiture, from David to the Bayon.  For her exhibition Blush with the Past, Ny Vannak combines her interest in the wide world of faces and her love of vivid colour.”
