Aicon Contemporary presents Islanded – curated by Priyantha Udagedara, a group exhibition featuring six artists from Sri Lanka – Channa Ekanayake, Chamila Gamage, Subadrage Nuwan Nalaka, Dominic Sansoni, Pradeep Thalawatta and Iromie Wijewardena.
As South Asian art continues to gain prominence and visibility in the global scene and market, it is important to delve deeper into the categorisation of art objects/ artists as South Asian itself. While a helpful regional and cultural categorisation, it also has the capacity to homogenise the individual identities of each country and its art. Islanded highlights art from Sri Lanka and focuses on the region’s history, present and future by bringing its contemporary art world to global focus.
