Saskia Pintelon: Ena De Silva House Exhibition

12 January 2009

The last exhibition presented by Saskia Pintelon in her former residence, the Ena de Silva house, designed by the late Geoffrey Bawa for the designer and later rented by Saskia Pintelon and her husband as their residence in Colombo. The house was also the location of the artist's studio for many years and no doubt had a significant influence on her early work, particularly the series leadng to her 2006 publication, The Book of Faces. 

 

The Ena de Silva house was carefully deconstructed following this exhibition and has been re-contructed by the Geoffrey Bawa Trust in Lunuganga, Sri Lanka. (→read more)
