Exhibit: Artists Lisa Collodoro & Tharanga Goonetilleke
Return to Innocence
01 Oct 2020 - 30 Nov 2020
This show centers upon themes of motherhood, the freedom of childhood and the exploration of self. The drawings and paintings of both artists are as diverse in styles as they come. However, their ability to emote volumes through minimalism brings these two artists together.
Lisa brings life to geometry and uses pops of color to express joy and exuberance, while Tharanga uses both subtle and elaborate renderings to her drawings to express deep emotions and profound nuances of life.
