Viewing Rooms

CURATED COLLECTION NOVEMBER | CONFIGURATION

1 - 30 Nov 2023

This November, our curated online viewing room celebrates the interplay of space and dimension in geometry. From angular and obtuse borders that denote partitions across space and identity to the collision of color and aspect that invoke themes of community and belonging, this month’s viewing room consists of works from Fabienne Francotte, Hema Shironi and Kanesh Thabendran.

COVERT | Chandraguptha Thenuwara

2020-2023

23 - 31 Jul 2023

The complete sculptural installation Covert will be presented to the public , a part of which was exhibited at the 59th Venice Biennale, from 23 July 2023 to 31 July 2023 at the Lionel Wendt Art Gallery. Through an infinite vortex of interlocking motifs - lotuses, soldiers, stupas and barrels - constructed out of wire which link and fuse, layer upon layer, like the meanings of the motifs themselves - the artist invites the viewer to reflect on the social and political history of the island. This exhibition marks the completion of the project, which began in 2020 as an ambitious project presented by Saskia Fernando Gallery during Covid.
