Line Drawing for Kudahora 1. This drawing is done in 1956.
Line Drawing for Kudahora 2. This drawing is done in 1956.These two paintings at the exhibition grabbed the attention of artist and archeologist Prof. Jagath Weerasingha and renowned artist and architect Tilak Samarawickrema.
Jagath observes the innumerable number of small lines hatched and drawn to give very interesting textures and shades of gray. The way the Kudahora 1st drawing is composed, with a bit of the old man's head coming out of the top dark margin, is compositionally very interesting. The rendering of the background trees, walls and the floor is technically fascinating. Jagath comments.
Tilak Samarawickrema believes that the detailed rendering especially in the Kudahora 2nd drawing at a very early time as 1950's, is pioneering and very interesting. (He's bringing out a publication called Ink of Lanka on his line-drawings from the 70's and 80's).
I personally think that these drawings, done with a crow quill dip pen, are in a taste and style captivating the contemporary artists. In the contemporary arena of top class drawings, one could place these drawings with a lost sense of the time they were produced, the 1950s.
