Rajni Perera
The New Archeology / The New Ethnography
September 7 - 30 2011
The New Archeology / The New Ethnography represent two separate yet overlapping bodies of work on paper. With expert use of imagery and colour emerging Toronto artist Rajni Perera interrogates and juxtaposes two methods of taxonomic culture-making to reflect female identity, sexuality and power while critiquing aspects of pop-culture, history and religion. The resulting images are powerful, playful, beautiful and sure to seduce the viewer.
Bio:
Rajni Perera is a Toronto-based artist who lives anywhere and paints until she can’t feel her arm anymore. She comes from Sri Lanka and grew up watching Robotech and Jurassic Park. Some of her many, varied influences are comics, cartoons, textile patterns from all over the world, the block prints of the Ukiyo-e, paleontology, astronomy and geometry. Oh, not to mention that she loves style. She is a recent OCAD graduate and the recipient of the prestigious OCAD drawing and painting medal.
