| Summary: | The exhibition is Singh's first solo exhibition outside of India and features over 160 works which includes oil paintings, acrylics, watercolours, drawings, and etchings. The publication includes newly commissioned texts by fellow artist and friend of the artist, Nilima Sheikh; Booker Prize winning author Geetanjali Shree, curator Devika Singh and art historian Geeta Kapur. It also features 3 interviews between the artist and Serpentine's Creative Director Hans Ulrich Obrist and exhibition curator Tamsin Hong. These texts touch on central themes of Remembering including the artist's exploration of Surrealism, figuration, abstraction, and the inspiration she has taken from Indian court paintings and folk narratives. They also discuss how since the 1990s, Singh has increasingly focused on themes of motherhood, the aging female form, feminine sensuality, vulnerability, and violence exploring the impact of relationships and external events on her emotional and psychological landscape.--Gallery website. |
