“The Standing Rubble” exhibition by Rena Chheang showcases Phnom Penh characteristic colonial buildings.
Chheang’s work is a collection of six paintings on canvas of architectural iconic sites in the Capital with
the intent to explore the richness of Cambodia’s civilization before it collapsed. The Mansion, The Post
Office, Central Market, The Palace, The Library and The Theater are standing memorials of what the
country was and can become. They are the pinnacle of wealth, relations, commerce, religion, education,
and art. The beauties they hold give hope to generations of Cambodians who have been working hard to
rebuild.
