Arpita Singh

b. 1937, Baranagar, British India · Indian

Arpita Singh has built a deeply personal pictorial language from domestic objects, maps, text, flowers, weapons and female figures. Her paintings often appear intimate and decorative at first glance, yet carry persistent references to violence, aging, memory and political unrest.
