ABOUT

At a time when contemporary art from Southeast Asia enjoys increasing global attention, Baik Art is pleased to present Crossing Place, a unique exploration of contemporary art from Sri Lanka.

The exhibition, mounted in collaboration with Saskia Fernando Gallery in Colombo, highlights works by renowned Sri Lankan artists Jagath Weerasinghe, Saskia Pintelon, Gayan Prageeth, Pakkiyarajah Pushpakanthan, Chandraguptha Thenuwara, and Priyantha Udagedara. The exhibition focuses on these artists’ distinct narratives and creative approaches as they work to absorb the social and political turmoil caused by the Sri Lankan Civil War of 1983-2009.
