About the Artist

Vernika Singh

Self-taught artist Vernika Singh (b. 1993) describes her paintings as ‘memoryscapes,’ where each work is motivated by a particular memory from her personal life. There is a terrestrial quality to Singh’s canvases as she guides us through an aerial view of liquid landscapes, plunging us into the depths of the ocean. As an abstract painter, Singh engages with the variety of ways colour responds to surfaces, the distinct qualities of acrylic and oil, and the effects created via a paint brush or spray gun. Her experiments go beyond the boundaries of colour to create visual sensations and open-ended experiences for the viewer.
