'Painting on Painting' - merging ideas of two artists
Dileepa G.W. and Mahesh Indika in their exhibition at the Lionel Wendt next weekend are pushing their creative boundaries in an original way – fusing together their very different styles, materials and themes to create 14 pieces of art.
The idea was born out of a mutual admiration for each other’s work. Dileepa, an art collector and artist had seen and enjoyed Mahesh’s work although he had never met him.
It was perhaps a moment of fate which resulted in them meeting through a mutual friend, when Mahesh had brought some paintings over to his house.
They began exchanging ideas until one day they decided to take the next step which was to actively merge their ideas using paint.
The pair explained they “began seeing on a single canvas what we had initially stirred together verbally” and this resulted in the name of their new concept: ‘painting on painting’.
Their exhibition titled "Together" will be held at the Lionel Wendt art gallery on February 13 and 14 from 9.30 a.m. to 8.30 p.m.
