#maskmuseum

Here is a #tbt from #2006 👤Whose mask?👤 mixed medium on canvas. 65 x 75 cm This painting was a part of the solo show I had it at the #Izmir #MaskMuseum in #Turkey, which is an interpretation of Kierkegaard’s quote as it is below. “Don't you know that a midnight hour comes when everyone has to take off his mask? Do you think life always lets itself be trifled with? Do you think you can sneak off a little before midnight to escape this?” Søren Kierkegaard . . . ©️ozlemyeni #ozlemyeni . . #sørenkierkegaard #mask #whosemask #ozlemyeniartstudio #illustration #conceptual #conceptualart #art #artwork #mixedmediaart #mixedmedium #oilpainting #acrylicpainting #humanity #equality #nogender #peace #love #identity #humanrights #visualart #artgallery #australia #tbt (at Ozlem Yeni Art Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsuTg4uBqNU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s31ooo51m2bd

The mask making has been carried out in Sri Lanka over centuries and it is mainly used in dramas, traditional dances, religious processions and ceremonies that exorcise demons. The famous mask museum in Ambalangoda allows visitors to see various kinds of masks and the workshops of the craftsmen working on creating the colourful wooden masks. During your stay in a hotel such as Heritance Ahungalla you could visit the mask museum which is close by to the hotel.
