A common theme and characteristic of Anushiya\u2019s work is the recurring application of layers. Whatever the medium, she applies and reapplies multiple layers until the desired effect of colour, texture and form has been achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Anushiya\u2019s art practice explores the concept of belonging. With her own experiences of different cultures, her creative investigations have centred on the relationships people have with their environments, how different relationships are shaped by experiences and how these in turn affect other people.<\/p>\n<p>The sense of belonging and the related notion of being rooted is very prevalent in Anushiya\u2019s thought processes. A natural feature that Anushiya strongly associates with her native Sri Lanka is the Ala Maram tree, or Banyan tree, a respected tree that is found in Asian countries. The unique characteristic of this special tree is its ability to develop roots from its branches, which in turn grow into new trunks, as the roots reach the ground. Anushiya thinks of this tree as a metaphor of how life continuously grows in new directions and into new forms.<\/p>\n<p>Anushiya\u2019s work has been included in ten solo exhibitions in Sri Lanka and Ireland, as well as in over seventy group shows throughout Ireland and internationally. She has received numerous awards and special commissions, and her work is represented in many public and private collections.<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Telephone:+44 (0)28 9023 1323<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Fax:+44 (0)28 9023 0323<\/p>\n<p>Email:<a href=\"mailto:gallery@belfastprintworkshop.org.uk\">\u00a0gallery@belfastprintworkshop.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Website:<\/span><a style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.belfastprintworkshop.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0www.belfastprintworkshop.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Address:\u00a0Belfast Print Workshop, Cotton Court 30 \u2013 42 Waring Street, Belfast, Co Antrim, BT1 2ED<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/anushiya-sundaralingams-root-belfast\/anu\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-101408\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101408\" title=\"Anu\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Anu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"553\" height=\"903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Anu.jpg 553w, https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Anu-183x300.jpg 183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":101402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
