Indra Singh

ART / ILLUSTRATION

 
 

Montreal-born painter Indra Singh is no stranger to the equestrian world. As a horse owner and avid rider, she has acquired a unique perspective on the relationship between the Horse and Man, whether on the field of competition or in more relaxed settings. Her strong, personal and interpretive style imbues vitality and energy to her subjects. As an artist she seeks to capture "implied action" through the use of broad brushstrokes and bold colours. Her work is approachable on many levels, allowing viewers to perceive meaning at their own pace. Through her style has evolved from formal to abstract, Indra avoids being labelled: "Flexibility and Freedom are the cornerstones of my philosophy," she says. Whether rendered in acrylics or watercolours, her paintings convey a sense of mystery and fascination while drawing us into an alternate world where the horses’ point of view is dominant. Indra is a teacher at Artcentral, where she conducts evening classes in drawing and painting three times a week. Noteworthy gallery representation includes Galerie Gora in Montreal.
