Shorebirds: an artist in the field
The book, is probably the first in the "Wildlife Art Book" genre, by a Sri Lankan publisher. The book showcases the work of Lester Perera, arguably the best known resident Sri Lankan wildlife artist. The art, reflects Lester's style of underpinning his paintings on field sketches and rarely relying on photographs or museum specimens. His art also captures the spirit of the place, whilst preserving an authenticity of the identity of the birds. Over the years, Lester has developed a more relaxed style towards the backgrounds of the subjects and has developed a more painterly attitude, freeing himself from the pre-occupation to detail which marked his early years. The book is complemented with a series of articles by wildlife populariser Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne. Shorebirds, an artist in the field. 2004. Text by Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne. Art by Lester Perera. Design by Chandrika Maelge and Layout by Copyline. 48 pages.
