Arpita Singh's first solo institutional show, 'Remembering', at London’s Serpentine marks a significant milestone in her six-decade career as one of India's foremost artists. At 87, Singh maintains a humble demeanor, celebrating the prestigious venue while expressing reluctance to divert time from her art. Her vibrant paintings, combining intricate motifs and narrative styles reminiscent of traditional Indian miniatures, showcase a melding of influences from European modernists encountered during her studies. This exhibition not only highlights her evolution as an artist but also emphasizes the cultural significance of representing South Asian artists in prominent international spaces.
Despite the significance of Arpita Singh's first solo show at the Serpentine, she remains reticent, valuing her time painting over public recognition.
Vivid and discordant, Singh’s paintings fuse modernist influences with Indian storytelling traditions, reflecting a unique artistic vision cultivated over decades.
