Since the late 1950s when he first began to paint, landscape elements have remained a constant point of reference in Paramjit Singh’s canvasses. With titles as innocuous as Monsoon Light, Red in the Woods, Evening Light, and Lakes these canvasses throw open to the viewer and collector an exquisite mélange of colour, light, and the fragrance of the vibrant countryside. In this present volume, noted art critic, Ella Datta, familiarises the reader and art lover with details of the veteran artist’s life, the influences which shaped his art, and the streams of thought which gave substance to the mystical landscapes that he is renowned for. Based on extensive interviews with the artist, the volume includes some of his best-known work, which includes landscapes, as well as the more rarely seen black & white drawings and pastels. Ella Datta’s eminently readable account of the artist’s life and work is supplemented by valuable photographs from the Singh family archives.
