Born to Cambodian parents who fled the Khmer Rouge genocide, Andrew Hem grew up between the cultural traditions of his Khmer heritage and the urban landscape of Los Angeles. Drawn to graffiti from a young age, he developed a strong sense of composition and visual storytelling before earning a BFA in Illustration from the ArtCenter College of Design in 2006.
Working across gouache, oil and acrylic, Hem creates atmospheric paintings that blend memory, dreams and cultural narratives through richly textured surfaces and luminous colour palettes. His work has been exhibited internationally in solo shows across London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles, establishing him as a distinctive contemporary painter known for evocative, spirit-infused imagery.
