Dr. Avanthi Jayasinghe presented her exhibition of paintings, “Chaos Rendered” at the Fareed Uduman Art Forum’s – SKY Gallery from 5th April to 7th April 2024. Interestingly, Avanthi is a Counselling Psychologist by profession and later completed her PhD at the University of The Visual and Performing Arts, Colombo, researching on the evolution of Christian Art in Sri Lanka, with a special focus on the Christian works of David Paynter.
Chaos is a fact of life. It can make life unbelievably messy, but also beautiful. Chaos, often perceived as disorder and randomness, has always been for Avanthi a catalyst for artistic exploration, to harness meaning, beauty, and transcendence into the fabric of existence. At its core, chaos embodies unpredictability and complexity offering a fertile ground for inspiration. Oftentimes, the inner world is a storehouse of tumultuous emotions, thoughts, memories, and experiences that define the human condition. As an introvert, art has always been for Avanthi an embodiment and expression of this inner world, a never-ending journey towards completion, and coherence from the internal pandemonium.
