Anjum Singh
Anjum Singh was born in Delhi.Anjums training has been in painting from Shanti Niketan & New Delhi & later painting & print making from Concoran School of art Washington D.C. It was in America that she became more open to experimentation & started working in different mediums. Her kitchen is stacked with mineral water bottle crates each bottle promising total protection from germs and disease, as it wraps the fluid in plastic. Anjum uses both water and the packaging (the shield between an inner pure substance and the germ ridden outer world) as metaphors for a security blanket. Through these everyday symbols from metropolitan India, Anjum dwells upon the idea of purity versus pollution. In her paintings she uses mundane ordinary images that one is confronted with in our everyday life, a work titled as ‘Bumper to Bumper’ reminds us of nothing but a traffic jam , ‘Wormy Water” points out to the water pollution that still exists.
