The Artist Behind the Exhibition

Rajni Perera is a Toronto-based artist known for her vibrant and thought-provoking works that explore the human condition. Her art often delves into themes of identity, culture, and social justice. Perera’s style is characterized by bold colors, intricate patterns, and a mix of traditional and contemporary techniques. Perera’s artistic journey began in the 1980s, when she started experimenting with various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Her early work was influenced by her Indian heritage and her experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society. Over the years, Perera’s art has evolved to incorporate a wide range of themes and styles, from abstract expressionism to pop art.

The exhibition will feature a diverse range of pieces, including paintings, sculptures, and mixed media. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore Perera’s artistic evolution and witness the growth of her unique style. The exhibition will be divided into several sections, each highlighting a different period in Perera’s career. The sections will include works from her early days as a painter, to her more recent experiments with mixed media.
