This artwork was exhibited during the artist's recent solo exhibition Within Boundaries at Saskia Fernando Gallery. In this series the artist presents a walk-through of his ongoing experiments with a distinct and dynamic visual style — one where his acquaintanceship with South Asian mural and miniature painting seeks anchor. Through an intimate engagement with colour and texture, Gunarathne’s work reveals a private world of anxieties & vulnerabilities where lone figures in imaginary landscapes and wait in wanting of warmth and familiarity.
