No direction home
 Nelun Harasgama's latest work themed 'no direction home' is being
held at the Barefoot Gallery till June 29.
"Harasgama has painted for most of her life and has developed a style
of elegant works, both contemplative and meditative in nature," writes a
critic of her previous work.
The oil on canvas paintings features her distinctive figural work.
Speaking of her current work, Nelun says, "The paintings are about how
we think we are doing so much in our lives, but it turns out that it's
just the settings that seem to change. It's just like in the old movies
where the actor remains static and the background changes. Life is just
like that."
Her work is also currently on display at the Gallery Art Korner in
the Dutch city. The Hague showing the paintings and drawings of eight
contemporary Sri Lankan artists.
Harasgama has been drawing and painting since childhood at Cora
Abraham's Art College. Her first solo exhibition was in 1994 at the
Lionel Wendt Gallery. Subsequently, she has exhibited at venues such as
Heritage Gallery with her more recent exhibitions at the Barefoot
Gallery. |
