Manjusri (¿ – ¿)
Manjusri is a revered Buddhist bodhisattva embodying wisdom and intellect, often depicted with a sword to cut through ignorance and the Prajnaparamita scripture; discover their profound symbolism and artistic representations.
In this enigmatic painting, the artist is represented only by the hand poised with a paintbrush. Two woman, one viewed frontally, the other in profile, occupy the foreground. They are set within a forest populated with a lion, an elephant, birds, a butterfly and a toad, set in a hybrid landscape which includes Persianate-style rock formations and clouds, as well as Japanese inspired cheery blossom, bamboo and other landscape elements. The rich complexity of design elements adds to the paintings engaging presence. The artist was a member of an influential group of independent modern artists based in and around Colombo in the 1940s, and continued to be one of the most significant painters of modern Sri Lanka.
