COOL WATERS
Superb Watercolours from this exciting young Canberra Artist
Opening Saturday 2nd October at 11am by Master Cellist David Pereira, DSCM (NSW Con), MMus (Indiana)
CHAN DISSANAYAKE was born in Sri Lanka and immigrated to Australia with his family. An early talent for drawing was recognised as far back as his pre-school days and the passion for art was never lost. He uses the native qualities of the watercolour medium to create atmospheric effects indebted to the intense Australian light. Chan’s imagery, a product of his ethnicity blended with the Australian landscape and coast, displays an inherent beauty tinged with nostalgia that imbides a sense of calm softness to the eye of the beholder.
