Sangeeta Singh
Sangeeta is a professional artist for the past 18
years. She has completed and commissioned over a thousand
paintings for clients across India, UK, Canada, France
and the US. The paintings are in various styles–both
traditional and contemporary and represent multiple
mediums that she has worked with. She has experimented,
with great success, with mixing traditional tools and
techniques with contemporary mediums (painting with
vegetable dyes & natural substances on cedar wood),
frescos on cement walls, charcoal on canvas, painting
with leather batik, etching and painting on metal foils,
brushed steel laminate, and glass.
|
| With fluid line work and a highly
experimental use of media, Sangeeta Singh paints intimate
portraits, dynamic representations of animals, and images
that border on the abstract. Her energetic compositions
range from the loosely representational to an almost
cubist restructuring of space. In kinetic images of
Herculean bulls, Singh captures the sinew and the stature
of the noble beasts so celebrated in classical culture
and traditions worldwide. Working in a variety of media,
she combines traditional Chinese and Indian painting
techniques with contemporary sensibilities. In delicate
washes, calligraphic contours and expressionistic brushstrokes,
Singh creates images that are at once aesthetically
diverse and vibrantly personal. For over 15 years, Singh
has worked as a painter, completing commissions for
collectors in India, Canada, the U.K., France, and the
U.S.
