PRASANGAYA, The Art of Surein Leanage

Sri Lankan born painter, photographer and Designer, Surein Leanage settled in Toronto after spending several years in German refugee camps.

Meeting, interacting and bonding with people from around the world, he came to understand that beneath social constructs such as status, creed, religion and culture, at the core there exists a shared essential humanness: a singular but complex language called emotion.

Now based in Hamilton, Surein uses colour, contrast, composition and abstraction to capture this elusive language.

While here, please stop into Smokestack Gallery on the 2nd floor to see their new exhibition.
