| Born in 1937
Arpita was educated at Delhi School of Art under Sailoz Mookherjea. Arpita Singh’s paintings should be viewed from a woman’s perspective. In her paintings the inner world of a woman, her home and life around her, looms large, using a thick textured surface, especially for her oil on canvas paintings, Arpita creates an element of tension, which she says, is a reflection of life around her and creates a world which is part naive and part real. She uses simple objects like telephones, aeroplanes, guns, bunches of flowers as icons of contemporary life.
