It was a cheerful night at Meta house last Wednesday, 29th, as Leang Seckon, one of Cambodia’s Contemporary Artist put on display his solo exhibition with 7 paintings, 2 installations, 5 original songs, and his dance performance.

All of the art works are under the theme of “Growing Wings” meaning that the wings refers to broad educations, culture sharing, freedom, knowledge and open-minded.

Every of the paintings are interrelated to the 5 songs he created. This concept of artwork was done following his previous work called “Hell On Earth” featuring the period when Khmer Rouge dominated the kingdom.
