As the year draws to a close, we take a look at contemporary artists from around the world who are making their mark in the art world. From surrealism to abstract, no art is off limits.
Andrew Hem
“What if our thoughts flickered across the surface of our skin like ephemeral silent movies? What if spirits walked among us, trying to find their path? What if there were no racism, and even the most outlandish people were accepted? What if the children of Andrew’s native land had been allowed to live in peace and thrive?”
Andrew Hem was born as his parents escaped the oppressive and genocidal regime of the Khmer Rouge. His family eventually settled in Los Angeles and he became fascinated by graffiti at an early age. Hem used the wall of Los Angeles as his canvas and followed his dreams studying art and receiving an art degree from the Art Center College of Design. Hem evokes the manifestation of dreams with blue tones punctuated by deep reds and golden light. Hem’s work forces one to think about their everyday life.
