Owned by Vishmika Madushan, this art gallery fashioned to be a simple structure just to house his many paintings, is located by the road side of Hikkaduwa. With a more rustic appeal, the paintings housed in this gallery apart from the usual scenic ones gives way to thoughtful insights as well. Paintings rendered in black and white with lone figures of monks swathed in orange robes seem to take centre stage attracting the eye.
Hikkaduwa, the small town by the beach is known as the beach party destination of the island. The main road is dotted with hotels, restaurants, and shops that offer clothes, tit-bits, musical instruments and even ART! The art galleries in Hikkaduwa have proven to be a crowd puller due to their location. If you take a walk on the road, it would be hard not to step into at least one of the galleries to take a closer look at the colourful paintings displayed out in the open displaying the culture and sceneries of the country. While a few present a more professional front with white washed buildings, most are small huts with loose planks for walls and floors made of mud or cement. Keep in mind some galleries may ask you to remove your shoes in order to protect their art pieces.
