Dark grey granite (gneiss), partly painted
Sculpting is not very popular among contemporary artists - in Sri Lanka as well as world wide
#A006
The creation and production of a sculpture is a physically hard work that takes very long to complete. Material and the process of making are either very expensive (bronce), and/or very heavy (stone), and/or very difficult to work with (casting, foundry, granite carving). Only sculptures from wood seem a bit more "easy" - but only as long as you don't try! Thus most of Sri Lanka's talented artists - as their fellow artists all over the world - don't put their artistic focus on creating contemporary sculptures.
