This book offers an overview of the influence and contribution of Sri Lankan artists, beginning with the 43 group artists, who sought to pioneer a consciously Sri Lankan interpretation of European modernism, through the contemporary art scene in a decade which marks the end of a 26-year civil war in May 2009. It is followed by essays of multiple contributors and 52 artists.
