Narath Tan
Narath Tan (c1962-) is a Cambodian sculptor and artist working in Chicago.
==Early life==
His early life on the outskirts of Phnom Penh during the Khmer Rouge were plagued by tragedy and horror.〔(Gallerie )〕 His father disappeared in the early 1970s and was believed to have been killed. In starving conditions his aunt and uncle both died of disease. Tan was assigned different jobs at different times: planting rice, clearing forests, digging canals, building dikes. On one occasion he was among a group of people assigned to move a house to a new work site. Rather than disassemble the simple bamboo-and-thatch structure so that it could be loaded onto a truck or oxcarts, the cadre ordered the workers to slide poles below the floor, then lift the entire building and carry it to its new location almost 30 miles away.
In 1978, following Khmer Rouge tension with Vietnam, Tan, who had been living in nearby Prey Veng province, was sent away to Pursat, in the west of the country. Three of Tan's cousins were killed there when they complained about the lack of food and one of Tan's brothers, weakened by malnutrition, was executed when he was unable to complete the work he had been assigned. By the end of 1978, the Khmer Rouge was near an end and Tan was able to return to Phnom Penh, and when the School of Fine Arts of Cambodia reopened in early 1980, he enrolled to study sculpture.〔http://www.haringey.gov.uk/survivors_information_document.doc〕
