In search of poems hidden in the sky

An exhibition of photography by Hemantha Arunasiri:

June 22-24
Lionel Wendt Gallery

Photographers, use all kinds of objects in their surroundings, focusing on their forms and diverse characteristics, to create something unusual. Armed with the camera they investigate the external environment, as they drive our eyes through a spectrum of visuals in 360 degrees.

Actually here they are engaged in an effort to express themselves, and camera is only a tool in this process that helps them to convert their emotions and feelings into a visual idea.

In this exhibition Hemantha's effort was to capture visuals that exist outside the usual frames; he has kept to a certain angle in the cyclic investigation of environment through the camera eye he encountered with a panorama that may not be as interesting as what he would have captured by the naked eye, in the same instance, in even a slightly higher angle.

Here was a tension which inspired the photographer to work through some unusual angles. And eventually find himself occupied with a search of a language of the sky and clouds.
