A Design Journey through the Sapumal Foundation: Home of the 43 Group’s Modernist Rebellion

The ’43 Group Experience at the Sapumal Foundation

This exclusive experience at the Sapumal Foundation  once the home of renowned artist and ‘43 Group secretary Harry Pieris takes you deep into the heart of Sri Lanka’s modern art movement. Step inside this storied residence and feel the pulse of a creative revolution that forever transformed the nation’s artistic identity.

The ‘43 Groupwas an anti-establishment collective of young, educated, and culturally restless artists who broke away from colonial influence to shape a bold, modern, and distinctly Sri Lankan visual language. Their rebellion redefined art in the country  turning colour, form, and narrative into instruments of freedom and identity.
