Aninda Singh
(b. 1982)
Aninda Singh is a ceramic artist based out of Bangalore. Her work is a visual and metaphoric comment on our interconnectedness to all beings. The many animals, birds and insects interwoven into her artworks form a richly nuanced symbology that reflects the reciprocal relationships in the living world. Intrigued by layered complexity of our natural environment, she explores shifting spaces between order-disorder, new growth-decay, stability and disruption, the apparent and the hidden. Clay is a primordial material capable of holding stories, it captures traces of interaction between human and earth like no other. As she manipulates its material potential in her work, it records and responds to her intervention, pushing its limitations and thereby hers in the process.
She has been a recipient of the Jyotsna Bhatt Ceramics Award (2023), Prafulla Dahanukar Kalanand Gold Award, CSMVS Mumbai (2023) and Merit Award, Jehangir Art Gallery (2022). Her work has been displayed at the CSMVS Kala Ghoda, Mumbai (2023), ICAF Show, Kalakriti Art Gallery Hyderabad (2023), The Bombay Art Society All India Annual Art Exhibition, Jehangir Art Gallery (2023, 2021), Synchronized-India Habitat Centre (2019), India Welcome – Zagreb, Croatia (2019), 21st AIFACS show (2019).
