In Shifting Terrains, Paramjit Singh continues to employ his unique visual language in textural depictions of luminous landscapes. Rich, dense and vibrant oil on canvas works provide close, intimate views of enveloping wilderness – clustering trees, sprawling grass and foliage, and flowing bodies of water. Devoid of specificity of time and place, his works evoke an impression of nature, materializing as memory. The forms of nature are suggested – hinted through dynamic brushstrokes and brilliant flecks of color – emerging as familiar yet otherworldly environs. While his smaller and more subdued charcoal drawings offer another experience of nature and memory in light and shadow – in which lush forestation enfolds, suffuses, and transports. Imbuing his paintings with palpability, while shrouded in a sense of mystery, Singh explores that which is beyond the perceived, searching out memory and the visceral. His fictitious landscapes – boundless and without pictorial depth, quiet yet chaotic – trace topographies that reflect not only the movement and spontaneity of nature but the transcendent experience of it as well.
