About The Event
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 Group was 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.
