Booth J04
NSIC Exhibition Grounds, Delhi
5 – 8 February 2026
Runjeet Singh Gallery will be exhibiting at India Art Fair, Delhi, showcasing work by six artists who share roots in, or are inspired by, Indian culture and aesthetics. The selected body of work brings together paintings and sculptural objects, that reinterpret traditional Indian styles, techniques, and narratives through the lens of memory and cultural fusion. By engaging with questions of identity and belonging from the perspective of diasporic narratives, the exhibited works tell complex stories of the personal journeys, ancestral legacies, and enduring memories of colonialism and migration that shape the experience and expression of diasporic artists in the present day.
Runjeet Singh Gallery is a modern and contemporary art gallery based in Royal Leamington Spa, England. Our founder, Runjeet Singh, is dedicated to platforming artists whose works serve as a bridge - spotlighting the interconnecting elements and liminal spaces between the traditional and the contemporary, the diaspora and the homeland, the east and the west. His selected works explore this ever evolving symbiosis, and embody the harmony and contradictions inherent in belonging to more than one place at once.
Our exhibition at India Art Fair features a diversity of mediums and styles, inspired by both the legacy of tradition and innovative contemporary practices.
Rati Devi Sivyer’s work is rooted in the traditional techniques and materials of Indian miniature painting. Sivyer explores a balance between the contained, the container, and the potential of space beyond, a theme echoed throughout her work in her use of bird, egg, and nest motifs. Her intentional process of creation has developed into a distinct visual language, telling stories of cyclical temporalities.
Suminder Virk’s paintings draw inspiration from the sharp angles, clean lines, and repetitive geometry of Brutalist and Modernist architecture, inspired by her home city of Chandigarh. Embodying a fusion of Indian and European influences, Virk’s rendering of brutalist forms is heightened by her distinctive technique of meticulously applied oil paint lines, inspired by traditional methods of henna tattooing. Through her incorporation of these varied influences, Virk’s practice unites artistic heritage, formal tradition, and cross-cultural exchange.
Karl Singporewala is an architect and artist whose practice explores the intersections of heritage, memory, and contemporary design. Working at the intersection of architecture and sculpture, he uses his Parsi / Zoroastrian heritage to engage with metaphysical beliefs, inherited traditions, identity formation, and formal innovation. Singporewala is an elected RWA Academician at the Royal West of England Academy of Art.
Arjun Singh Assa is a multidisciplinary designer, maker, and artist whose practice honours traditional woodcraft while embracing modern innovation and prioritising the responsibility of materials. Assa’s sculptural works draw on deeply spiritual and mythological themes, honouring the cultural legacies carried through diasporic identity and celebrating the interconnectedness of human experience.
Simran Kaur Panesar blends the ancient tradition of miniature painting with modern influences. She explores narratives shaped by memory, migration, nature, and faith, while positioning herself as a Sikh artist working within a contemporary framework. Through her practice, Panesar merges timelines to create works that resonate across generations - deeply rooted in the past yet profoundly relevant in the present.
Amrit Singh Sandhu’s vibrant portrait works draw deeply from her upbringing in Punjab, blending personal memory with modernist expression. Sandhu explores themes of home, identity, and the tension between tradition and individualism through figurative compositions marked by distorted, elongated forms and expressive colour. Influenced by her Indian roots and modernist art histories, her practice reflects everyday domestic scenes as emotional landscapes.
Runjeet Singh Gallery will be exhibiting works by Arjun Singh Assa, Simran Kaur Panesar, Amrit Singh Sandhu, Karl Singporewala, Rati Devi Sivyer, and Suminder Virk at India Art Fair, Booth J04, from 5 to 8 February 2026.
