The exhibition displaying artistic creations, sculptures and art done out of waste metal products by Lalith Senanayake is open to the public from Dec.02 to 07 at Gandhara Gallery at 28,, Stratford Ave, Colombo 06.
Following the inauguration, President Rajapaksa viewed the exhibition displaying striking birds and animals, made of scrap metal, yet instantly recognisable in their composition.
The artist says he made quick sketches in the wild and then gathered waste metal products such as motor parts, cutlery and assembled them proportionately to form creations of stark beauty.
“In my mind every nut and bolt, silencer, steering wheel, that was thrown aside and piled up created a definite shape in my mind’s eye that could be beautified and re-created contributing ultimately to the goal of conservation of Nature", Senanayake said.
A special feature of the exhibition is using every nut and bolt, silencer, steering wheel and stockpiles which are a potential threat to human health and the environment.
