REFRACTIONS: ONE-OF-A-KIND ART EXHIBITION

A fusion of abstract expressionism and refractive art for a one-of-a-kind art
exhibition at the Lionel Wendt Art Gallery on August 18. Mueen Saheed, an
International award-winning Jewellery Designer turned Artist together with D.
Raja Segar, a renowned artist and sculptor will present an exhibition of a
collection of artworks in Colombo.

Titled Refractions, the exhibition is to be held under the patronage of Dilmah
Tea Chairman Dilhan Fernando. Mueen Saheed will present a unique and never
before seen collection that has to do with climate change and the environment.
His paintings will be aimed at showing the Net Zero emission and individual
responsibilities towards mother nature.

Raja Segar

Meanwhile, D Raja Segar will present a collection of art forms of figure
paintings of religious figures. D Raja Segar is also known for his artworks
which he calls ‘refractive’ for their depiction of a style that is both
prismatic and vibrant.

This is the first time that both artists will be coming together for an art
exhibition in Colombo. Both artists have exhibited prominently and frequently in
many parts of the world. They will be accompanied by Artists Bilaal Raji Saheed,
Spinndonna and Jihye Lee.

Bilaal who is an Architect and Designer is Mueen’s son, a graduate of the Royal
College of Art in London. He presented his first Solo Exhibition in October Last
Year, where he also launched Sri Lanka’s first solo NFT collection with Lankan
Web 3 startup Hyperglade, which has since gained interest and investment from
Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist Tim Draper. Spindonna has been painting with
her father Segar since she was a child, beginning with finger paintings, and has
since had her Maiden Exhibition in Lionel Wendt in September 2017. Her
sister-in-law Jihye Lee is employed by Gongju art museum in South Korea, a
colourist turned watercolour artist whose paintings are bought by several art
collectors.

Mueen has exhibited extensively at group and solo exhibitions in Delhi, Colombo,
The Maldives, Oxford, Florence, Paris, and Bordeaux, and his works are in
prominent collections globally. Mueen’s art is influenced by several factors,
including his Sri Lankan heritage, a past life in crafting jewellery, History,
Mysticism, Rhythm, and the personal philosophies of his portrait subjects.

He is the recipient of many awards and recognition for his work in the arts,
including the JA Jewel Award (New York 1996), The Golden Apple Award for
Innovation (New York, 2001) and most recently an Award for Innovative
Entrepreneurship from the Chamber of Commerce, Colombo.

Raja Segar is an Accountant turned Artist. He is experimenting with the
refractive effect of light in his abstract and figurative paintings. He loves to
work in watercolours, oil, and mixed media. In sculpture, he works in steel. He
has had one-man exhibitions in Australia, England, India, and Sri Lanka in
addition to group exhibitions. Almost all of his paintings have been bought by
art lovers all over the world and adorned in newspapers, documentaries and
periodicals including Reader’s Digest.
