ESCAPES

The word Escapes is argumentative and has different perceptions, which are based on personal aspects. In this series of paintings, my attempt was to capture bolts of freedom in the lives of people who live very simple lives, in my own way. Though they lack facilities, luxuries or wealth, their atmosphere is full of colors. Their shelters, clothes and festive decorations are, despite this, bright and colorful. These colors are placed over them, wrapping a part of their life that is otherwise left in darkness. This series is the continuation of my previous exhibition Slums, where I began creating colorful surfaces. CHATHURIKA JAYANI FEBRUARY 2016
