Muvindu Binoy uses digital collage and printmaking to give life to Sri Lanka's entry into a globalized world. Exploring global comsumer culture's intersection with the island's sense of national identity, Muvindu speaks to the hybridized, pastiche shape of Sri Lankan culture today. Combining imagery from advertising and digital culture with iconic images of Sri Lanka's heritage and art history, Muvindu uses new media as a means to explore deeper questions about a rapidly changing landscape.

Muvindu
Binoy (b. 1989, Sri Lanka) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice
is focused predominantly on digital collage and film. He uses the
internet as a primary archive to create collages that interrogate the
cracks in our social world, systems of fate and ‘online’ realities with a
tone of absurdist humour and uncanny truths. He explores themes of
gender, agency, title and the expectation of traditional values and the
contradictions of modern living through the digital manipulation of
images. He was selected for the Cité Internationales des Arts residency
in France (2021) and the Ya Connect Artist-in-Residence in Sri Lanka
(2019). His work has been featured at Pop South Asia: Artistic
Explorations in the Popular at Sharjah Art Foundation (2022), Jawahar
Kala Kendra, India (2019) and the Colombo Art Biennale (2016). (Bio courtesy Saskia Fernando Gallery, Colombo)
