Description

In "Male Nude Draped in Vetti", Lionel Wendt's lens paints a wild dream of flesh and fabric. Our man's back, a landscape of muscle mountains and shadow valleys, draped in vetti whispers from the East. Sepia tones sing songs of yesteryear, but the beat's as fresh as tomorrow's dawn. Classical vibes meet modern grooves in a dance of light on skin.

That vetti ain't just cloth, it's a whole story of culture clash and queer revolution. Modesty plays peekaboo with desire, identity shimmies between threads. Pure poetry in motion, power and grace turning a simple shot into a universe of questions - body and soul, East and West, all wrapped up in one fabulous package. A slice of paradise where gay beauty meets cultural exploration. A rebel yell in silver nitrate. A love letter to the male form that'll make your heart do the jitterbug. With the rhythm of ages, captured in one man's beautiful back story...

• Do good, look good, feel good: Sitting approx 5mm from the edge of the canvas — creating a floating border — the FSC® certified frame is made of sustainably sourced wood, meaning your new treasure's 100% forest friendly.
• Natural beauty preserves natural beauty: Vivid, water-based eco-inks as lush and enduring as traditional inks… minus the chemical junk.

About the Artist

Lionel Wendt (1900–1944) was a Sri Lankan pianist, photographer, filmmaker, and critic who significantly influenced the country’s modern art scene. Born to a mixed heritage family, Wendt studied in London, where he pursued both law and music. Upon returning to Sri Lanka, he left law to focus on music and eventually embraced photography, creating images that captured the essence of Ceylonese culture and modern artistic trends. In the 1930s, Wendt co-founded the Photographic Society of Ceylon. He was a central figure in the '43 Group, an avant-garde art collective that sought to merge Sri Lankan traditions with modernist elements. Wendt's dedication to art helped cultivate a national consciousness that valued both heritage and Western influences. He died in 1944, leaving behind a legacy celebrated by the Lionel Wendt Art Centre in Colombo.
