^{ABSTRACT WORKS}

Bruises

Karen Khouth is a Cambodian-American mixed-media artist. In her recent abstract painting series ‘Bruises’, Karen uses bright colors painted in quick brushstrokes that pop amongst painted 'skin' to tell the story of the passing-pains people experience through life. Her work is inspired by the history of her Cambodian heritage while living in America. She studies the pains, hardships, and joyful evolution of Cambodian culture with the hopes to exhibit an artform that brings brightness over it’s dark history.
