~SUMAKSHI SINGH . . . the green light that means: GO !!

when green is alive, and ‘bio-full’, and sings with the light of . . HOPE, and new growth.

and, reminds us . . of when even Persian miniatures – were of a most . . . BEAUTIFUL NATURE, even the fierce ones.

an “interactive, multi-media installation that plays with perspective to create the illusion of a manuscript book, in which viewers see themselves and others moving about as miniature characters.”

last year SUMAKSHI SINGH .. “worked on a 70 ft. illusion-based installation for the KOCHI-MUZIRIS BIENNALE, an animated painting for the INDIA ART FAIR, a projection based installation for KUNSTHAUS LANGENTHAL in Switzerland, and is currently in GURGAON, working on ..” her upcoming USA exhibit . . .

SUMAKSHI SINGH opens a new solo exhibit in the USA, SAT SEPT 26, 2016 – at WOOD STREET GALLERIES, 601 Wood St, PITTSBURGH, PENNSLYVANIA.

SUMAKSHI . .
has just updated her website – it’s fresh, sweet. a time travel/art journey, for sure.
touched with an ancient ‘miniature’ elegance, as if a squeeze of lime was turned into . . pigment.
the greatest of empty spaces, ‘tiny’ illustrations.

the first, and only time I met Sumakshi Singh (and got to see her work in person) was at her debut NYC solo show: ‘Lumps, Bumps and Things that are Art’, 2006 – in Chelsea, at the now defunct Van Harrison Gallery.
the show held out a lot of promise, and a very light, light hand . . in both the painting, and the actual site specific installation – and esp re: a very ‘bio-beautiful’ – ‘future vision’ . . . for things to come.
