Rajni Perera & Nep Sidhu | In The Realm Of Lightning
August 7 - September 18 2021
Artists Rajni Perera (b. Dehiwela, Sri Lanka) and Nep Sidhu (b. Maidenhead, UK) present a collaborative multi-faceted body of work formed over an extended and connected trajectory of instinctual practice.
The exhibition is a witnessing through a non-dual awareness from which both artists follow in tradition through their Buddhist and Sikh origins.Within the works there are guides and temporal stainings such as Sun Ra's Immeasurable Equations and Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s proximity to the formless, along with other movements that look to the cosmic body to encourage acts of memory and trance that are charged by boundless expression. Comprising of large-scale experimental marbled textile wall work, embroidered protection for ride-or-die spiritualists and kin, as well as varied object, the exhibition culminates two years of labor, life, and intention.
The artists would like to thank the Canada Arts Council, EM Dynamics, and K & K Recycling Services for their generous support.
