The playful and unsettling coincide in Yim Maline’s artworks. From her meticulous graphite-on- paper drawings to her bold sculptures, her conceptual foundations have been a processing of memories specific to her childhood growing up amidst civil war in Cambodia, and a means to consider the complex effects of this period on the natural environment and individual and societal structures of today. Yim’s ambitious and skillful use of materials challenges our perception, while an inherent vein of uncertainty and tension challenges our comfort.
Yim was born in 1982 in Battambang, and is a graduate of Phare Ponleu Selpak art school (1995-2003) and received a BFA, Fine Art, École Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Caen la Mer, France (2010). Yim’s solo exhibitions include Having a Hole or empty space inside at SA SA BASSAC (2015), and Silk Threads at Insider Gallery, InterContinental Hotel, Phnom Penh (2012). Her group exhibitions include Futurographies: Cambodia – USA – Paris, New York, Phnom Penh, Paris; And that which was always known, Yavuz Gallery, Singapore (2015), Eight Women, French Institute, Phnom Penh (2011).
