VAJIRA GUNAWARDENA

By facing straight to the culture, the series of art works I have done was always connected to my “Daily Life”, which is an ultimate result of my personal feelings springs out from the social, political structure of modern life.

Often I ask to my self. I all seek, in many ways, a perfectly ordinary day-to-day life. It is a fantasy in Human being. However the idea of “Perfectly Ordinary Daily Life” is derived from a narrow perspective drawn from a very limited point of recognition. Perhaps the Idea of the “Perfectly Ordinary Daily Life” becomes a blissful blindfold of which to spend our daily lives quietly. It is because of this, the “Unordinary or Abnormalities” that boils under the surface of everyday life threatens to become neglected. However, it is through art that the “Unordinary or Abnormalities” of the world emerge. Art is the gleam in the thick of darkness or the shadow in the light of day.
