Paramjit Singh's hills and woodlands carry the luminous memory of a transcendental presence. Born in Amritsar, Punjab, Singh studied art at the School of Arts, Delhi Polytechnic (1953-58). His landscapes, with their loaded silence evocative of the other worldly, became over the years, a distinct mystical utterance in pictorial terms. They are lush Indian landscapes with a mystical vision of a transcendental presence.
