| Born in 1967
Anjum Singh is a promising young painter. She received her BFA from Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan, MFA from the Delhi College of Art and later went to USA on a scholarship to the Corcoran School of Art in Washington D.C. Anjum has participated in several group exhibitions in New York, Washington D.C. and New Delhi. Her first solo exhibition was held at the Foundry Gallery, Washington D.C. As a painter, Anjum’s work reflects the post-impressionist Matisean works of colour and form –– where blues-greens-oranges –– applied on flat two-dimensional pictorial space do not fuse into harmonious tonalities but maintain their own intense identities, clashing against one another and setting up a ‘movement’ of their own. Anjum was awarded an internship in Costume Designing, Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts, Washington D.C. and received the 6th Yuva Mahotsava Award, Sahitya Kala Parishad, New Delhi.
