The city's all a-shining
Beneath a fickle sun,
A gay young wind's a-blowing,
The little shower is done.
But the rain-drops still are clinging
And falling one by one -
Oh it’s Paris, it's Paris,
And spring-time has begun.
Andrew Hem, 1981 | Pop Surrealist painter
The Cambodian-born artist Andrew Hem was born during his parents’ flight from Cambodia in the wake of the Khmer Rouge genocide and his upbringing was influenced by the rural heritage of his ancestors and the urban sensibility of Los Angeles, where his family came to reside.
Being positioned within these cultural dichotomies fostered an aesthetic inspired by graffiti, as well as tribal and supernatural imagery.
Describing his compositions as dreamlike memories inspired by personal experiences, Hem’s ethereal paintings function as a window overlooking the invisible realm of the human spirit.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: "I want a red to be sonorous - to sound, like a bell.."

Known for his distinctive soft brushwork, vibrant colors, and focus on celebrating beauty and sensuality, he captured intimate and joyful scenes of everyday life.
