This exhibition by P413, ‘Tar Wars’ is the third of a series of debut solo shows that have taken place at SFG Colombo this year. P413 is in fact Sri Lanka’s first street artist, an artist we came across during our attempt at a street art project for Pecha Kucha (a public art presentation event we staged in 2011). What stood out was P413’s ability to draw so well on canvas with a marker pen. He was the only person who participated in the project who attempted to use his own materials.
