Reginald Pean and Rajni Perera Controller Opening Reception: March 3rd, 6 pm - 10 pm Reginald Pean A born and bred New York native, Reginald Pean is a staple of the underground NYC art community. Reginald Pean creates Orphic scenes that evoke a dystopian celestial afterlife where lust is law. Contradictions abound the canvas; psychedelics clash with the darkness, sexuality and mysticism forge a star-crossed pairing . While Pean’s topics and themes have evolved over the years, his style is unmistakably his own. His images are sharp, yet wavy- as if seen through the heat cooked air of a desert, even hooded death himself looks like a beautiful mirage. Rajni Perera Rajni Perera explore issues of hybridity, sacrilege, irreverence, the indexical sciences, ethnography, gender, sexuality, popular culture, deities, monsters and dream worlds. All of these themes marry in a newly objectified realm of mythical symbioses. They are flattened on the medium and made to act as my personal record of impossible discoveries. In her work, Perera seek to open and reveal the dynamism of these icons, both scripturally existent, self-invented and externally defined. She uses a subversive aesthetic that counteracts antiquated, oppressive discourse, and acts as a restorative force through which people can move outdated, repressive modes of being towards reclaiming their power.
