Lang has a layered art practice expressing with paint, sculpture, installations, and public commissions, always ensuring a unique vision with multi-levels of audience experiences that are deep beyond the surface and pushed outside the studio and gallery walls.
Lang works across various media in an exhaustive effort to articulate the impact of war as it reverberates across the personal and universal psyche as she addresses the bitter evil of human indifference. Her work is poignant and rooted in her family’s experience of the Cambodian War.
Her artworks are exhibited and collected locally and internationally. She has been a finalist in numerous national and international awards and selected for some renowned international Artist residencies including - New York residency at Art Omi international artist residency(2017); Studios at MASS MoCA international artist Residency, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art(2019); Vermont Studio Centre Residency and Red Gate in Beijing.

I am driven by an innate, compulsive desire to create, to enhance a common experience and turn it into a serene, emotionally charged story that everyone can appreciate. While my artworks dramatize the horrors of war or a dark depiction of violence, I hope my art shocks one’s senses to force a person to think deeply, spark debates, commemoration, and maybe even cause revolutions:)
The challenge is to creatively bring together reality, imagination, medium, composition, and technique to produce something that will make the audience feel like they are part of that story. A story that conveys a thought, reflection, and meaning to a person who was never part of any of those experiences, creating Artworks that speak out and touch the audience and generate a multicultural dialogue, contemplation, and reflection on a subject that touches every one of us.
