SERENDIPITY brings together a collection of premiere contemporary art, sourced from significant private collections and from artists directly.

The South Asian art market has gathered momentum and international recognition primarily as a result of large prices witnessed at auction. The crossover collector base is growing. However, there is more to this market than good investment possibilities. The variety of sensibilities, rich histories and diverse philosophies, enrich the aesthetics which are as varied as are the people from this region.

The Sri Lankan artists featured in this show are auction favourites George Keyt and Ivan Peries, Stanley Kirinde, Shehan Madawela and Druvinka Madawela. Sushil Mangaonkar is an established young talent from India. These artists provide excellent aesthetic and investment value in a growing and dynamic market.

We look forward to your participation in this exhibition.

The Private Gallery will include the Sri Lankan artists in an exhibition dedicated to Sri Lankan Contemporary art, scheduled to open in New York during Asia week March/April 2006.
