‘The Sri Lankan Pages’ is the title of an exhibition of new work by New Zealand artist Chrys Hill, which will be on show at the kOOii Art Space this weekend 30-31 May 2009.
The works for this show consist of fragments made up from images and moments in Sri Lanka. These separate images are presented as a collected experience. As the title of the show reflects The Sri Lankan Pages is much like pages from a book that have been removed and relocated onto a wall.
Some of the units are exhibited as individual pieces, allowing for people to collect them as a separate work or to combine groupings of them into their own combinations. Regardless of how you approach this exhibition the works should provide a rich visual experience and opportunities to reflect.
Chrys has spent the last 11 years working and travelling abroad. He has been exhibiting since 1970 and has featured in a large number of solo and group shows in a variety of countries including New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, India, United Kingdom.
This show is his first Sri Lankan exhibition and comes at the conclusion of a 2 year residency in Colombo where he has been teaching Art at the Overseas School of Colombo.
