Priyantha Udagedara is a artist who has worked tediously to bring his art to the present standard that it is at. With a talent to draw and paint from a very young age Priyantha has dedicated most of his youth to practise and perfect his craft passionately. Born in Kandy, the artist seems to mix a large dose of the mural painting style with his ideas of expression; after all it is only natural that he gets absorbed by the surroundings that he was born to. With the Dalada Maligawa, Embekke Devalaya and Lankatileke Viharaya and many more unfolding in the presence of his childhood artist Udagedara might have had his colourful journey through art nourished by those elements. A painting from his current collection on show His work conveys a total involvement of himself in them, attempting to go deeper into his colourful illusions, their many minute details are sometimes almost filigree and curiously decorative. Those fine details coupled with many hues of his colour palette makes his work travel towards an exotic world that makes the viewer marvel at those sights. (P.A.B.)
