Anupa Perera's practice is primarily focused on still lifes that takes an unconventional approach to explore themes of resilience and conflict . His compositions are defined by the deliberate integration of seemingly unrelated objects—random memorabilia, everyday items, and discordant elements that defy conventional associations. This lends each composition a playful unpredictability that creates a sense of intrigue. The artist often incorporates militaristic objects into his composition in subtle commentary as the dissonance offers a poignant reminder of the lingering and insidious effects of conflict. Anupa engages the viewer with peculiar and contrasting combinations and compels audiences to examine the works more closely in order to decipher the multiple layers of meaning and intention.
Anupa adopts the techniques and sensibilities of the Renaissance masters with a contemporary flair to critique the socio-cultural dilemmas of Sri LankaThis approach positions his still life compositions as both reflective of specific cultural moments and relevant to wider, shared human experiences. His approach to the still life both honours and deftly subvert the conventions of the medium. His work has been featured in both group and solo exhibitions at JDA Perera, Sri Lanka and the Lionel Wendt Art Centre, Sri Lanka.
