Mohan's 'Rhythmic Lines' at Harold Peiris GalleryART: Mohan Sudusinghe will hold an exhibition of his painting entitled 'Rhythmic Lines' at the Harold Peiris Gallery, Colombo 7 from March 25-27. The exhibition will be open to the public from 10 a.m. -7 p.m.
Mohan Sudusinghe is a dancer. Having grown up with a passion for dancing, he is conversant with traditional as well as contemporary forms of oriental and western dance. He has dedicated his life to dancing and built up a name for himself as a professional dancer and choreographer for over fifteen years. A product of D.S. Senanayake College, Mohan realised his life's ambition, the promotion of traditional dances, when he created the Lak Uruma Art Foundation, which is dedicated to preserving our indigenous dances and cultural heritage. A knee injury which forced a short pause in his dancing career, gave Mohan time to take up painting seriously. Being closely associated with dance, Mohan's paintings mainly comprise sculptural collages with images of dancers and instruments. A self taught artist, Mohan enjoys working with "mixed media" using acrylic, paper, cloth, wire, gum etc. It appears from his work, that Mohan views the world through the eyes of the dancer within. According to Mohan, "rhythm links dance with painting", hence the title 'rhythmic lines'. A painter with a style of his own, he is gifted with a strong sensitivity to design and colour, which gives his work a rare distinction. Mohan has already successfully held three exhibitions of his paintings in Sri Lanka. |
