The Black Truth - 24

About the Item

Ranjeet Singh (b. 1984 in Bihar, India ) holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (Painting), 2006 and a Master of Fine Arts (Painting), 2008, from the Faculty of Visual Arts, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. He has been exhibited in several exhibitions including The Black Truth, Solo Show in Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, 2018, The Black Truth, Dhoomimal Art Centre, New Delhi, 2017; Art & Soul Divine Art, Gallery, IHC, Delhi, 2014; LINES ON THE PALM, Academy of Fine Arts Gallery, Kolkata, 2012; Aagaz Art Exhibition India Habitat Center, Delhi, 2008. The artist lives and works in Delhi. Ranjeet Singh is a multimedia artist who uses the mediums of photography and painting to turn the ‘art for art’s sake approach’ on its head. He employs techniques of photorealism to voice the strong socio-economic and political disparities in our society. In ‘The Black Truth’, Singh highlights the lives of workers at coal mines in his native Jharkhand, Bihar. His purposeful works reveal the truth of what is alive around him, amplifying the voices of the people who are denied basic democratic rights.“I choose the representational-figurative tradition to unfurl myself to my viewers in a simply readable language superimposing identical objects, contexts and symbols creating paradoxes to convey my idea vigorously”, says the artist.
