In his US debut, Gurjeet Singh creates unique beings from discarded textiles and other
unconventional materials that, in all their strange otherness, remind us
all of our shared imperfect humanity. His soft sculptures are bold, but
non confrontational, finding a sense of kindness and approachability in
their unapologetic oddness. In these forms, Gurjeet finds a new visual
language of queerness, creating beings whose strength lies in their
deviation and difference.
Gurjeet Singh (1994, India) is a Chandigarh-based artist
who works in soft sculpture (among other mediums), creating imperfect
creatures out of various textiles and embroidery elements. He studied
art at the Government College of Art in Chandigarh, where he developed a
distinct sculptural approach based on conversations and experiences in
his life. Gurjeet draws on the art of storytelling and conversation to
bring to life various human experiences in all their imperfect, unique
form. With a particular interest in queer stories, Gurjeet creates
entirely unique beings through seemingly domestic methods, particularly
embroidery. After a smash debut with Chemould Colab gallery in Mumbai,
Gurjeet has been featured in Vogue India, Elle India, Voices of Fashion, Platform Magazine, and The
Dirty Mag, where his work was featured on the cover. Gurjeet makes his
US debut in Now Streaming.
