THEAM'S GALLERY

    Angkor is a land of many wonders which has inspired artistic expression for millennia. Today Siem Reap boasts an array of talented artists with Theam’s Gallery at the very core. Located a mere 10 minutes from the majestic temples of  Angkor, Theam’s Gallery is the home, atelier, and gallery of Master Cambodian Artist, Lim Muy Theam. Theam's Gallery features an Artwalk which includes many different sections for tourists to look at and admire. These sections include: 

WORKSHOP

   In the workshops, the initial dream of Theam takes shape: both knowledge and know how are passed on to a new generation of artisans. Sculpture, lacquer polychrome, gold-leaf gilding … so many arts and techniques, ancient and secular gestures that serve a traditional craftsmanship that fits modernity. Here creation goes hand in hand with tradition, with due regard to Khmer aesthetic identity.

THE ART GALLERY

    In his willingness to pursue his artistic research and to transmit his savoir-faire to new young Cambodians, Theam has turned his beautifully designed home into an art gallery and working studio dedicated to the creation. The art gallery features a professional curated showroom exhibiting all artworks conceived and produced onsite. This exquisite visual arts space give visitors an authentic insight into the distinctive world of Cambodian art.

    

THE ANCIENT PAVILION

    Cambodia is a land of traditions. In its countryside, the beliefs and objects of remote origins that remain are manifold. Theam’s Gallery is an invitation to discover and immerse ourselves into Khmer culture through its architecture, its everyday objects or even traditional musical instruments. Each bears testimony to the story and the thought of a people of rice-farmers, whose religious beliefs blend nature spirits, Hindu deities and Buddha. Numerous visual and spiritual references that are conducive to feed the traveler’s reflection, as well as it inspires the work of the artist and designer, Theam.
