The Mystical Magical Worlds of Sindibad and Rijah

On Exhibition: April 26 – May 18, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 26, 2008, 7-11 PM

Artists Rijah and Sindibad are featuring their artworks in this special reunion show. Over the last 20 years they have collaborated, developed and influenced each other’s dreamscape style of works.

Rijah and Sindibad’s medium and large-scale acrylics on canvas are influenced by surrealism. The works featured demonstrate their symbolism through vivid colors and movement.

Rijah and Sindibad collaborated in 1990 through 1997 creating and selling their ARTWEAR and costumes at their Royal Rags and Riches booth at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Rijah has shown her work at various local coffee shops in Minneapolis while Sindibad’s works are visible on the murals of local restaurants such as the Blue Nile and Jerusalem.

The Mystical Magical World of Sindibad & Rijah is a collection of works that express both artists’ lifelong passion with art.

An opening reception for The Mystical Magical Worlds of Sindibad & Rijah will take place on Saturday, April 26th, from 7-11PM at the SSCA gallery. The reception event is free and refreshments will be available.
