Rodwittiya, Rekha (Artist). Theatre Of Puppets. Charcoal on paper, 1990 | Drawing | FineArts | 0022655
The hand gestures, the body postures and actions and the gazes of the features, like the contextualized alignment of symbols, imply associating meanings – the motif of an unpeeled banana in the extended palm of the boy in the painting titled The Balcony or the veiled gaze of the faces partially covered with palms in The Tree Doctor exemplify the ironic comment on the sad humour of existential inevitabilities.

Rodwittiya, Rekha (Artist). Merry Rivalry Of The Anarchist. Mixed media on paper, 1991 | Painting | FineArts | 0022656
The colour red dominates her canvases and is an important signifier of her work, indicating ‘sacrifice, passion, desire and protest’. Her female figures have the iconic quality of a Mater Dolorosa, and their gestures and surroundings link them through myth and memory to infinite histories. Rekha imbues ordinary actions with a ritualistic quality and by often displacing their context she renders them more potent or evacuates their meaning….Her protagonists are neither confrontational not cowering. There is a profound sense of both strength and vulnerability, of directness and reticence which gives her works their particular appeal.
