‘Eyes Only’ by Gayan Prageeth
Gayan Prageeth’s latest exhibition, titled ‘Eyes Only’, revolves around the developments of the politics and corruption in Sri Lanka, will be held from 27 January to 19 February, 2021 at Saskia Fernando Gallery, Colombo 7.
His thought provoking use of intricate illustrations of destruction and imagery illustrating these storiesmakes these art pieces distinct and interesting for the viewer. The floating images presented upon a surrealistic backdrop create dream like images, intricate and beautiful in their nature, perhaps as an intentional juxtaposition of the narrative and the implications of beautification. In this series the artist incorporates his geometric and realistic painting styles in surrealistic visuals that provide a critical and analytical view.
His canvases are a juxtaposition of delicate illustration and intense conceptual work that lead the viewer into a sensitive debate of current affairs.
In 2018 the artist presented his works with Saskia Fernando Gallery at Art Dubai and in 2019 he was included in the group show Crossing Place, a collaborative exhibition presented in
Los Angeles by Baik Art Gallery with Saskia Fernando Gallery.
Gayan Prageeth’s exhibition will be on display to the public at Saskia Fernando Gallery, No. 41, Horton Place, Colombo 7. Open 10am to 6pm.
