Statement / Bio
Kuldeep Sing is a multidisciplinary artist, creating a hybrid system of non-linear narratives in visual art and multi-media performance. He works through fragments in film projections, painting and soft sculptures in variable installation based environments. Weaving together Indian classical dance gestures, theatre, and visual art elements, his interests range from identity, queerness to environment informed by postcolonial thought. This painting comes from an on going series of small works exploring inventive scapes stemming from medieval Indian pre-colonial texts.
