"Commercial advertising which is ultimately paid for by the consumer, has succeeded in limiting and controlling the knowledge and entertainment available to the very same consumer. Therefore, knowledge and entertainment have become commercial advertisements.

The consumer is no longer certain about the division between scientific knowledge and commercial advertising." Above is the artist's thoughts on his present exhibition showing in Colombo.
