- Description
- This research project examines the birth of ‘Ceylonese modernism’1 through the formation of the ˙43 Group in Sri Lanka in the period just before independence in 1943. Their contribution to art practice in the country’s post-independence and independent eras is explored and, parallel to this, the Group’s influence on the development of my own practice as a contemporary artist is posited.
