RUWAN PRASANNA b.1980

Ruwan Prasanna holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Kelaniya in Colombo. Haptic texture patterns evolve on the surface of the canvas by the artist’s seemingly spontaneous hand of gestural brush strokes. By capturing the play of natural light with the essence of nature using colour combinations that resemble the works of abstract impressionists from the 19^th century, he exaggerates his own style as a painter by continuously playing with different thickness of strokes and colours. The artists early work showed strong influences from his peers, namely Jagath Ravindra, from the Sri Lankan contemporary art scene however since his 2015 exhibition he has come into his own direction as one of the few young artists in the island to dedicate his practice to abstract painting.
