The Modernity is a solo exhibition by Cambodian artist Pen Robit, from 22 March to 19 April 2025. In The Modernity, Pen Robit delves into themes of struggle, oppression, freedom, and democracy, extending these concerns beyond humanity to encompass the environment. Through a striking new body of work, the artist reflects on the urgency of healing from violence—both personal and collective—while confronting the conflicts that continue to shape our world.
For the first time, Robit experiments with acrylic painting, limiting his palette to primary colors to create stark contrasts that amplify the intensity of his imagery. Each bold brushstroke mirrors the chaos and upheaval of contemporary society. At the same time, his compositions introduce an imaginative array of characters—humans, animals, and flora—to narrate the ongoing struggles of our time.
