Hi , I am Dev from India . I think this is absolutely amazing , not only because this is an art , but also for the cultural significance . Frankly speaking I didnt knew that people actually know about apsaras outside India . ‘Apsaras’ are supposed to be heavenly dancers at the court of Indra . I had no idea that people in south east Asia knew about the same legends .
.-= Dev´s last blog ..Few new drawings for me friends =-.

there is nothing wrong with this picture it is beautiful. Khmer culture has become very conservative over the years. yet the very people complaining about this picture are the ones who probably watch pornographic videos and have sex on the mind all the time. there is nothing wrong and it is a very good picture of beauty. Keep painting and sharing your talent.

I don’t think this pictures is at all offensive and does not make Khmer women into pornographic images. The people who are conservative about this are the same people who themselves watch pornographic movies and have sex on the mind all the time. This is a beautiful piece of art.

Way back thousand years ago, ancient Cambodia appsara it’s meant be topless, on the Angkor Wat stones sculptures are topless there’s no cloth on for thousand years. Why we take this as a serious issue? This is the Khmer culture of Apsara. If the Apsara wearing cloths that is not called Apsara.

I dislike any censorship, and to call your artwork “porn” is an OUTRAGE! Quel outrage! Why can’t they just and go watch mindless Simpson’s cartoons on TV and drink their stupid Bud lite and leave you the hell alone! I love Apsaras! BEAUTIFUL! I painted one–it’s here on my myspace page.

I really like your job, Reahu. You guys have done a great job; moreover, it seems real and show natural of human beings. However, before u did this Naked Apsara, have you ever though about our country? We know you guys has a lot of skills compare to Cambodian people. We can not compare to you guys because you guys are Cambodian-American, but we just Cambodian. The people who are uneducated in your mind. I seems have a lot of things to say to you, Reahu. To be honest, I love Apsara. They are all my spirit. On the other hand, I dont want to their naked body, even if it is real or fake. Let me ask you a question,” what do u like the most in your life?” So what will happen if someone ruin the things that you like the most in your life. Let say, so what if someone create a fake picture of you mum. I do not want to say something more, nor do I want you to shut down your website. You do not have to do it then. Just continue your work, but please think about something more valuable. I do not mean that you are wrong; you did your skills because you guys are an artist. there is no complains. JUST DO IT IN THE RIGHT WAYS!!
