Alex continues his colourful exploration of two cultures
View(s):Artist Alex Stewart’s work, now on show at the Barefoot Gallery in Colombo 3 can be viewed at many levels. Myths and stories, diverse
histories, a varied cast of characters including masked tricksters and angels, foxes and dogs colour his canvas and draw the viewer into a deeper contemplation.
All these characters are part of our inner self, our own story of life explains the artist who divides his time between London and Sri Lanka, treading a mystical line between two different cultures and yet choosing to explore them on his canvas- “the image knows no frontiers”.
‘The Archaelogy of Being’ as his exhibition is titled opened on May 8 and will be on until May 25.
