Note: The work has been authenticated by the artist.

This present lot offers a vibrant portrayal of Sri Lankan fishermen at sea, set within a dynamic seascape animated by the artist's signature use of flowing and rhythmic forms. In Untitled (Fishermen), Senanayake not only conveys the physicality of the fishermen's labour but also evokes a lyrical relationship with the sea - both as a lived environment and a symbolic space.
