About the exhibition

The Barefoot Gallery Colombo is delighted to present 'NOSTOS', a group exhibition featuring 9 Sri Lankan artists. Dominic Sansoni and Barefoot Gallery welcomes Bandu Manamperi, Chaminda Gamage, Chamila Gamage, Channa Ekanayake, Koralagedara Pushpakumara, Saman Liyanage, Sanath Herath, S. H. Sarath and Tissa De Alwis to share tales of their journeys, so we might carry their courage into the New Year. NOSTOS features 9 exceptional Sri Lankan artists from multiple generations whose careers have taken them in many directions, at times around the globe. Their artwork speaks to myriad subjects all grounded in Sri Lankan identity - history, politics, the natural world, village life, the mental gymnastics of daily life, all manifested through colour and a mix of media, in order to reflect our contemporary times.
