Yim Maline
Battambang-born artist working with drawing and sculpture, with a public artistic context in Siem Reap.
Artistic context
Yim Maline’s professional biography records her Battambang birth and training at Phare Ponleu Selpak, followed by further art study in France. Her representing gallery places her working base in Siem Reap. Drawing and sculpture are central to the published account of her practice, which engages with memory and the natural environment. SM Art Center offers a further public context for encountering and researching her work.
How to follow the work
Look carefully at materials as well as represented forms: an object’s construction can be as important as what it resembles. Use the current art-centre or gallery programme to establish viewing arrangements rather than assuming that an old exhibition remains installed. Keep the title, medium and date attached to any work you discuss. The Battambang connection helps explain a wider Cambodian artistic network without relocating the artist’s present practice for a travel itinerary.
