Description

This exhibition has has not opened yet

This exhibition runs from Thursday 20th March 2025 to Sunday 27th July 2025.


Remembering is the first solo exhibition of Arpita Singh outside India, featuring key works selected in close collaboration with the artist from her prolific career spanning more than six decades. Singh’s paintings centre on her emotional and psychological state, drawing from Bengali folk art and Indian stories, interwoven with experiences of social upheaval and global conflict.

The exhibition at Serpentine North traces Singh’s luminous works from the 1960s to recent years, showcasing her large-scale oil paintings as well as her more intimate watercolours and ink drawings. Remembering presents the artist’s exploration of Surrealism, figuration, abstraction, and her inspiration from Indian miniature paintings. Since the 1990s, Singh has increasingly explored themes of motherhood, the aging female form, feminine sensuality, vulnerability, and violence, demonstrating the impact of relationships and external events on the emotional and psychological landscape of the artist.

Her works are intimate portrayals of domestic and inner life but are equally concerned with the experiences of women navigating the outside world. Resisting singular interpretation, Arpita Singh explores an omnipresent tension that arises from weaving together labyrinthine cityscapes with observations of unsettling historical events and everyday life.
