SUMMARY:Dreams of Nature Reception
DESCRIPTION:Paintings by Marshall Wickramaratne and Laura Wickramaratne \nHere is what the Artist Marshall Wickramaratne says about this exhibit: \n“My collection “Dreams of Nature” is a reflection of my experiences from my home country of Sri Lanka\, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In trying times\, I take solace in the memories of the places I’ve been. These paintings are my way of trying to reconnect with these moments in time. \nGrowing up\, I faced a lot of difficulties: material luxuries were not something that we could often afford. However\, I don’t ever recall feeling as though I missed out on anything – my childhood was spent running through the thick jungles\, swimming in the lakes and discovering hidden vistas. There was a beautiful simplicity to it. \nIn contrast\, my daughter Laura’s paintings reflect a more contemporary upbringing. With vivid colors and experimental concepts\, she demonstrates the vast difference in generational rearing. While we both share a passion for art\, our experiences dramatically impact how we express ourselves. \nThat was always my dream\, to provide my children with the opportunity to explore places and avenues I couldn’t even conceive of when I was their age\, I take immense pride in the dichotomy of our art. However\, perhaps due to nostalgia\, I can’t help but long for my childhood as well.” \nContact Information: MWICKRAMA@msn.com
