There have also been abstraction periods in her work. In her work, she integrates weaving techniques, Indian mythology symbols, urban maps and newspaper headlines.

After graduating from the Delhi Polytechnic Institute of Art in 1959, Arpita Singha joined his forces with colleagues Nilim Sheikh, Nalini Malani and Madhvi Pareh, to support each other in the dominated art scene.

In her solo exhibition RemembranceThere are 165 works in London until July 27: large -scale oil paintings, acrylic paintings, more intimate watercolors, mascara drawings and engraving. The author is constantly experimenting with colors and signs, studying emotional reactions to social shocks and humanitarian crises in the world. Since the 1990s, she has been increasingly focusing on the topic of gender, motherhood, bodily, feminine sensuality and vulnerabilities, as well as reflecting violence and political anxiety in India and elsewhere. The artist is interested in the impact of local, national and global events on the psychological and emotional state of women.

Arpita Singha depicts the inner world of women: the heroes in the paintings are visible alone, in conversations with other people and in the city landscape. The cyclicality of the artist’s thinking process is evidenced by motives that often repeat in her work – flowers, turtles, cars, airplanes and mango. The paintings are intertwined with disturbing historical events, observations of everyday life, urban scenes and people’s inner maze.

He is fascinated by confusion and ambiguity, and the painter often fills his work with contrasting and contradictory words and symbols, leaving interpretation to each viewer.
