The Gallerist has added to its display work by abstract painter DinArt.  “This young, self-taught artist has no art education, yet in the astonishingly short period of 10 years he has become the most popular and well-known abstract painters in Cambodia and earned himself an international reputation. Determined to have a signature style, Borin started to play with colors and textures, using bold brush strokes to create impressive movements on his canvas.”
 
Next month, on Sunday 9 October, the choir Musica Felice will hold a charity concert at the Sofitel grand ballroom, featuring works by Bach, Mozart, Puccini, Rutter, Jenkins, Gershwin and Franklin.  All proceeds will go to Princess Buppha Devi Dance School and Yamada School of Art.
