Arpita Singh
“Today was the day. It is one of the certainties about life, but one that nevertheless is daunting to grasp, and leaves us feeling resistant, sad, shocked, and grieving. Arpita Singh passed on this morning. She leaves behind not just a legacy of art created over seven decades, placing her amongst the most significant of painters ever from India, but also the void of an extremely perceptive, astute humanist. She was resolute and a formidable force in a 5 foot frame yet yielded influence far beyond, including as a mentor and inspiration for generations of artists in India that followed. I for one am immensely grateful to the Singh family for their impact and indebted to Arpita for the constancy of her wisdom, generosity and friendship for three decades, beginning with her first international solo presentation in NY and now with our current and her final exhibition. I am grateful and honored to have Arpita in my life, where she will always remain ever present and live on through her work."
