Bou Meng S-21
By Alison Meek
Bou Meng was one of the very few survivors from the notorious Khmer Rouge prison S-21 in Phnom Penh. As an artist his work was needed by the authorities, which saved his life. While I was visiting this grim museum, Bou Meng was there signing his book, and I had the honour and privilege of meeting him and having my photo taken with him. One of the most amazing and humbling moments of my life.

About the artist
I love using saturated colours or simple black and white: colour conveys emotions, reactions, tensions, moments in time that are experienced but not seen. Using line for life drawing lets me practice optimum co-ordination between eye and hand, free from thought expressed in words, allowing for a universal language.
