Punam Singh is a London-based abstract expressionist and intuitive painter who confides in the earthly properties of natural materials to showcase her practice. Brought up on a remote tea plantation in Assam, her jungle upbringing surrounded by the Himalayas provide the foundation for her work.

Using concrete as a base layer, she seeks to highlight the resilience of the human and nature’s spirit, before unleashing swarms of colour, patterns and ranging styles – from bold to small strokes. The cycles of nature - of decay and regeneration were experienced very closely by Punam and are therefore embedded in her practice. “Our patterns and that of nature are very similar. We begin our lives folded and slowly begin to open.” The abstraction in her work comes from emotions and memories of the wilderness.

Before becoming a full-time artist since 2018, Punam worked for some of the world’s largest leading advertising agencies, including Saatchi & Saatchi in Mumbai. She has lived in London since 2000 and took a career break to raise her family. She is a mother to triplets.

In November 2021 she presented a solo exhibition titled, ‘The Way Through the Forest’, which was very well received. She has been part of group and virtual shows in London since 2019. In 2022 she had a joint exhibition in Notting Hill, London, as well as exhibited at the Assam day convention at the Hinckley Hotel, Leicester. Her paintings are part of an going show at True House, London. In December Punam had a group show at O2 centre in London.

Her work is held in private collections across America, India and UK.

Punam will be part of an upcoming group show titled Nostalgia from 7th- 18th February at Camden Image gallery, London, and working towards a solo exhibition in October 2023.
