Chaya an artistic photographic exhibition will be held at the Lionel
Wendt art gallery on March 6 and 7. The photographs which depict 50
striking images taken from day to day life incident in a new angle are
clicked on camera by Dr Jeewaranga Gunasekera.
A past pupil of Ananda College, Colombo, Dr Gunasekera had completed
his degree at the Faculty of Medicine in Colombo University. He is
currently waiting for his internship appointment and working as a
freelance photographer.
“I always believe human presence makes a big impact on a photograph.
Images can be taken while posing in a studio spontaneously amidst
nature. I hardly make a difference to the result. Apart from basic
colour balancing I do not manipulate my photographs. I have always tried
to convey a message to the viewer from all of my pictures,” Dr
Gunasekera who hails from Kottawa and vies to become a psychiatrist
said.
He also had a passion for music and has a Diploma in Vocal music from
Bhathkhande University, India, to his name. He had ventured to the
Western music sector as a vocalist and bassist while forming a band with
a few medicos. He is also interested in philosophy and Buddhist
philosophy.
The opening ceremony of his solo exhibition will take place on March
5 at 3 p.m. Entrance free.
