Paramjit Singh is 91 years old now, and his love for the fields and forests of his childhood, and the wonder with which he looked at nature, remain intact. He fondly recalls his long walks through the fields of Punjab with his grandfather — a “very mystic” man. Those wanderings, it seems, remain etched in his memory.
The artist brings these memories to life in ‘Liminal Geographies’, on view till April 10 at Delhi’s Vadehra Art Gallery. Marking five years since Singh’s last solo presentation, the exhibition features works created over the past year and a half. These paintings, made in oil on canvas, reflect Singh’s connection with vast landscapes as well as individual trees, streams, and paths, which have been depicted through textured brushstrokes, somewhere between abstraction and realism.
