Rajni Perera & Marigold Santos: Efflorescence/The Way We Wake
The Lyon Museum of Contemporary Art (macLYON) is presenting, for the first time in France, an exhibition of works by Rajni Perera and Marigold Santos, two prolific artists on the Canadian art scene. Rajni Perera's origins are Sri Lankan and Marigold Santos is of Filipino heritage. Both artists are marked by the experience of immigration at an early age and they have many concerns in common: motherhood and feminism, relocation, rebirth, myths, the natural and the spiritual worlds, to name of few. They met in 2020, and immediately recognised aesthetic and conceptual affinities in each other, a bond between kindred spirits. Not long after they began to collaborate.
Conceived as a duo exhibition, Efflorescence/The Way We Wake* speaks to the artists'personal experiences and research into their respective cultural heritages. It showcases recent paintings, drawings and sculptures produced by each artist, as well as a new joint work, to further highlight the strength of their artistic connection.
