Sobāthma

5 December 2024 - 9 January 2025
Overview

PRSFG is pleased to present Sobāthma by Jagath Ravindra at our new space at No. 138, Galle Road, Colombo 03. With a career spanning three decades, Jagath Ravindra is one of Sri Lanka's foremost senior abstract artists.

 

In this series the artist references unanimous existence, blending Impressionism's pursuit of the fleeting moment with the evocative power of abstraction. Through masterful manipulation of color and scale, Ravindra's work often tend to heighten the sensorial experience. The quivering of a waterbody on a moonlit night, the wisp of a midnight cloud passing by a hill, and the golden brilliance of a tree in bloom condense into their primal hues of blue and yellow in Jagath Ravindra's Sobāthma. The exhibition becomes a time capsule, as it envelopes the viewer in a sweeping embrace of pulsating tropical colours.
