We joined the residence printmaking program in China for two months, where a machine similar to the printmaking prss machine used for our design work was produced for the first time in Sri Lanka. Today it was brought to our art way art gallery (AWG original printmaking base) after doing it under our quality supervision for a period of four months. It is truly a great achievement for us.

මේ තමයි wood cut print කරන්න හදන ප්ලේට් එක, මේ ටූල් කිට් එක මට අමුතු දෙයක් නොවන්නේ මම පුංචි කාලේ සිටම ලී කැටයම් වල යෙදුණු නිසා මෙය අතට ගොඩක් හුරුයි. මගේ තාත්තා සහ මගේ තුන්වන අයියා "ලලිත් අයියා" ඒ ලී කැටයම් කැපීම මට හුරු කරපු නිසා අද මෙය ඉක්මනින්, නිවැරදිව, සහ සියුම්ව කිරීමට මට හැකි වුණා. කවදා හෝ ඉගෙන ගන්න හැම දෙයක්ම ජීවිතයේ හැම තැනදිම ප්‍රයෝජන වන මෙයින් බව හොඳටම පැහැදිලි.

Achala Gunawardhna and Sudath Abeysekara: Pioneering Sri Lankan Artists at the China·Guanlan Original Printmaking Base 2 months Residency Program 2024.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In 2024, celebrated Sri Lankan artists Achala Gunawardhna and Sudath Abeysekara were selected for the prestigious “China·Guanlan Original Printmaking Base 2 Month Residency Program”, a ground-breaking achievement in Sri Lanka’s artistic history. These two trailblazers became the 1st Sri Lankan artists to participate in the esteemed residency, which has hosted over 1,000 international artists from more than 100 countries since it’s inception.
During their residency, Achala and Sudath had the unique opportunity to work alongside distinguished printmakers from around the world. Immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the “China Printmaking Museum”, they delved deep into the intricate world of printmaking, mastering both traditional techniques and embracing contemporary innovations. Their time at the base was enriched through collaboration with other international artists, fostering cultural exchange and allowing them to infuse their unique Sri Lankan heritage into their creations while gaining new global perspectives.
Their 2 month tenure at Guanlan was not only a period of creative exploration but also one of profound professional growth. Both artists demonstrated remarkable skill in pushing creative boundaries and experimenting with new mediums, reinforcing their reputations as multi-disciplinary innovators. Most notably, they became the 1st Sri Lankan artists to be recognized by the China Printmaking Museum, with their exceptional works being archived in the museum’s permanent collection. This prestigious honor places Achala and Sudath among the foremost artists in the international printmaking community.
As the first representatives from Sri Lanka to participate in the China·Guanlan Original Printmaking Base Residency Program, Achala and Sudath’s contributions have opened new doors for Sri Lankan artists on the global stage. Their recognition by the China Printmaking Museum solidifies their legacy as pioneers, inspiring future generations of Sri Lankan artists to gain international recognition and elevate the country’s presence in the world of printmaking.
