The spontaneous gestural brush-strokes and mark-making leave an impression of the abstract expressionist within Kasun. They connote nature’s spiritual power and timelessness.
His meticulous geometrical measurements add symmetry to his paintings to add a sense of reality to such divine phenomena. Kasun’s paintings are perfectly proportioned and laid out across the canvas as he has included his knowledge of his first-class bachelor’s degree in painting, and the learning experiences as a freelance artist and lecturer at the University of Visual and Performing Arts. His work transforms standard notions of realism into a uniquely expressive form, while his utopic imagination rejuvenates the eye of the viewer with fresh color. These conceptual ideas are enhanced by his skill at rendering lifelike figures with his sharp eye for manipulating proportion and scale and abstracting it. “My paintings are characterized with contemporary and conceptual ideas highlighting natural trends” says Kasun. He confesses his great obsession with vibrant colors and the playing of light and shadow. Working with acrylics, oils and mixed media, Kasun employs a bold color palette and fluid style to capture the essence of his world. These graphically striking images allow the physicality of nature to reveal itself. The inner world of dreams and cultural memory is made to contend with utopic patterns and textures. Through Kasun’s paintings he has developed a close kinship with the natural world, and visualizes it mythically, beautifully and expressively. The artist sees himself as a merger of “abstract trends with natural concepts” and represents the world through a large kaleidoscope. Surreal geometry and vibrant patterns are the subject of Kasun Wickramasinghe’s paintings.
