Serpentine is delighted to present Remembering, the first institutional solo exhibition of Arpita Singh’s work in London. Open at Serpentine North from 20 March to 27 July 2025, the exhibition will showcase works selected in consultation with the artist from her prolific career which expands over six decades.
Born in Baranagar in 1937, Singh emerged in the 1960s, developing a painting practice that brings together Surrealism and figuration with Indian Court painting narratives. She combined this with periods of abstraction, using pen, ink, and pastels to form dynamic lines and perforations on the surface to create layers and textures.
Remembering at Serpentine North will explore the full breadth of her practice, ranging from large-scale oil paintings to more intimate watercolours and ink drawings.
The paintings on view will celebrate Singh’s endless experimentation with colour and mark making to figuratively explore emotional responses to social upheaval and international humanitarian crises.
