The Practice

​

My practice uses abstraction to examine how individuals inhabit thresholds

while remaining psychologically and perceptually isolated.

Harmeet Singh’s work foregrounds material contingency and temporal process, positioning the painted surface as an event rather than an image. Situated within a post-digital context, his practice prioritises the visceral reactivity of pigment, water, and time over digital pre-calculation. The surface is approached as a field of material behaviour — where pigment, water, and medium engage according to intrinsic logic rather than representational intent. Working primarily with watercolour and acrylic, process is structured around gravity, chromatic release, and sustained attention to surface equilibrium, thereby reducing authorial dominance in favour of facilitation.

Singh’s process privileges silence and spatial restraint, with forms emerging through pause as much as gesture. Colour functions as an atmospheric force rather than a descriptive tool, producing a visual frequency that unfolds through visual duration and sustained looking. The work is conceived as a series of disciplined investigations that resist immediate resolution, inviting extended engagement over time.
