Genuine Batik is an unique art gallery with a great variety of batiks created by Mr.J.Hirantha Wimalarathne. I'm truely impressed by his talent and workshop. Mr. Hirantha is full of passion and he is eager to explain the technique he is using and he can show you around his workshop if you are even more interested in numerous steps required to create a batik. You can buy not only batiks different in size and colours but also tableclothes, shirts, bags and dresses. It's a great gallery situated in a beautiful garden.

We made our way down to Tangalle specifically to visit this small gallery. The artist is incredibly friendly and talented. He has been recognized within Sri Lanka and has won an international award. His shop was affected by the 2004 Tsunami; he lost 160 paintings. You can see several paintings hanging in the gallery that were recovered after the disaster. We bought two paintings that we felt epitomized our trip to Sri Lanka. Definitely worth a visit if you're in you're in the area.

EXOTIC ROOTS opened in 1996. Now located in a light filled colonial era Dutch building on Light House Street in the historic town of Galle Fort. Home to a store, cafe, gallery and performance space. The products in the store are carefully curated, pieces that were made by hand and by heart. Carrying everything from, art, jewellery, home decor and clothing. A family owned business of French and Sri Lankan heritage, run by the artists, mother-daughter trio of Catherine, Asia and Inca. Their work is available in the shop and ranges from paintings, prints and hand made painted terracotta pottery. Held together by Catherine H (the founder's) creative vision. It is warm, vibrant, refined, with a tasteful range of products. Combining the traditional with new that celebrates an exciting design focus that captures the exceptional creative skills of Sri Lanka and Asia.
