THIS IS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE FABULOUS BY GURJEET SINGH 

Specialising in portraiture and soft sculpture, Gurjeet Singh is an artist with fluidity running through each thread he sews. What draws one to Singh’s oeuvre is an extensive sense of deliberation, despite its exuding maximalism rooted in self-expression. He describes his ‘Chorus Of Misfits’ as boundless, free and alive. The unbeaten burst of vibrance married with intricately patterned discarded fabrics isn’t a mere reflection of the artist’s spirited personality; it exhibits a deeper, probing exploration of identity, love and trauma. “We’re talking to you now as part of a collective—a chorus of misfits who have finally found a way to fit together; the scraps of our scattered lives and secret identities stitched together into one big resplendent love story”, Gurjeet explains, having explored his queer identity in a conventional Punjabi society. Stemming from a fascination with a Sikh miniature painting tradition, his significant exhibitions include a collaboration with clothing label Bodice by Ruchika Sachdeva, amongst other renowned group shows and exhibits.
