ElbertMost Art in South East Asia feels like kitsch and has mostly a religious purpose, though sometimes you can find beautiful pieces of modern/contemporary art and street art if you look the right way.
Modern Art
For example in Phnom Penh, the capital of cambodia, there was an augmented reality exhibition in The Plantation of several photo that were taken with an painting and with an app the artworks came alive. It is a collaboration of three artists: Eric Gu, Flori Green and Miguel Jeronimo.
