In 1958 Edsel Corsair 2-Door Coupe in Teal Color Blockers, the classic car sits beautifully rendered, the scene seemingly lifted directly from a classic advertisement.

Samraing Chea is an emerging artist who works meticulously with greylead and colour pencil on paper. His practice contains humorous and startling social commentary, and his approach demonstrates an uncanny ability to extract the irony and idiosyncrasies of his subject. His signature line of text at the bottom of each drawing describes his inspiration and adds a witty thought, leaving the viewer to decode the scene. Chea has worked at Arts Project for nine years and held his first solo at Reading Room in 2018. He has shown in various group exhibitions and his work is held in private collections worldwide.
