About
...is a Sri-Lankan artist based out of Toronto,
exploring issues of hybridity, sacrilege, irreverence,
indexical sciences and ethnography, sexuality,
popular culture, deities and monsters.
Intensely labored and immaculately conceived.
Spiritual and whimsical, a pooja and a porno
at the same time.

Little sketch Spirits available @ Miracle Thieves, Toronto. I’m making a small collection of original holiday gifties, or after-holiday gifties. Great for self-gifting, too!
Prints!
A tiny little edition of 10 signed, numbered giclee prints of Chinnamasta at 11.5” X 15.5” is available this winter at Miracle Thieves on the corner of Dundas and Crawford in Toronto.
Tonight is the launch party for their new roster of artists, hope to see you there! :)
I will be doing more small editions of prints for sale exclusively at Miracle Thieves, so stay tuned (to both of us!). The original Chinnamasta is a part of YouWorshipUs, my show at Katzman Kamen Gallery @ 80 Spadina Avenue.
Travelling work! These three works have travelled to India! They’ll be at Bombay Electric (Mumbai) for a pop-up shop with my friends on the other side of the world, WETHEPPL. They will be in print-form. A very limited edition of prints will also be available starting December 4th, at Miracle Thieves in Toronto, Canada.
Hello again, I’m in a group show on the 26th of this month, with fellow Torontonians Crystal Liu and Julie Moon. It’s at Katzman Kamen Gallery on Spadina Avenue.
This is a big deal because I LOVE the other two artists! Can’t wait! Ok back to work…
A sneak peak of Curry Cream Pie, re-working ethnic pornography and branding into slutty new heights. This is the first of a series riffing off of the SANPELLEGRINO packaging, yet incorporating marketed ethnic sexual identities in place of fruity flavours.
The finished work is scheduled to be shown at a group show at Katzman Kamen Gallery on November 24th. More news to come on the show very soon!
