Paul Gauguin Up Close at SKY GALLERY
View(s):Hot on the heels of the immensely successful ‘Van Gogh In Sri Lanka’ the Fareed Uduman Art Forum is now presenting another Stellar Exhibition – ‘Gauguin In Sri Lanka’ at Sky Gallery from 18th to 27th August. A stunning collection of 45 fine museum quality canvas prints framed in the exact sizes of the originals painted by Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). The Art Forum is dedicated to bringing to the people of Sri Lanka, works of art beyond their reach, including masterpieces of great European painters whose works hang in far-away galleries and museums.
Visitors to the exhibition will be stunned by the glorious colour and the huge sizes of most of Gauguin’s paintings – that have been carefully selected from his period works of Rouen, Paris, Provencal, Martinique, Brittany, Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. Amongst the magnificent exhibits they can view up close are iconic masterpieces like: “The Yellow Christ”, “When will you marry?”, “What news”, “Two Tahitian Women”, “What! Are You Jealous?”, “Where Are You Going?” “Adam and Eve”, “We shall not go to market today”.
Paul Gauguin is one of the most significant French artists to be initially schooled in Impressionism, but who broke away from its fascination with the everyday world to pioneer a new style of painting broadly referred to as Symbolism.
