‘Rural Zone’ by Sandatharaka Abeysinghe at Paradise Road Galleries

‘Rural Zone,’ an exhibition by Sandatharaka Abeysinghe, is being held from 8 to 27 February at Paradise Road Galleries, No. 2, Alfred House Road, Colombo 3. Nourished by folklore, Abeysinghe’s works highlight the authenticity of rural culture; a culture degraded by the impacts of the commercial world. The natural environment he discussed in his narrative is threatened by modern urbanisation. He presents the villager in miniature, searching for their presence within the spaces he creates – Pix by Shehan Gunasekara
