Saffron Robes

Saffron Robes is easily one of the most eye catching and well maintained art galleries at Hikkaduwa. Owned by artist G W Dileepa, the gallery is crammed between two other buildings in the busy Colombo-Galle road and rise five storeys high. Within the art gallery, every nook and corner is filled with various art pieces and ornaments, mostly done by the artist himself or by his friends. The white washed walls provide a more spacious appearance to the narrow structure, and better showcase the vibrant pieces of work. Saffron Robes mostly comprise of canvases that depicts the country’s breathtaking landscape, culture and even religion. However, the gallery also carries a handful of specially designed clothes, batik items, sculptures made out of discarded material and small souvenir items as well.
