Arpita Singh (1937–2026): The Painter Who Made Her Own Laws of Gravity

15. November 2026 by sl1 - Assistant de galerie
Comic tribute: an elderly cartoon Indian woman artist in a sari and a young Indian curator with calm, serious faces facing the viewer in a gallery hung with pink and blue paintings of floating figures, a marigold garland on a plinth

Arpita Singh, one of India’s most important painters, has died in New Delhi at 89. A look back at six decades of work in which gods, ordinary people and violence share the same weightless space.
