Opening in March 2025, Serpentine will present the first solo exhibition of Arpita Singh outside India, featuring key works selected in close collaboration with the artist from her prolific career spanning more than six decades.
Singh’s paintings draw on Indian miniatures and narratives, interwoven with immediate experiences of social upheaval and international humanitarian crises. Remembering at Serpentine North will explore the full breadth of her practice, ranging from large-scale oil paintings to more intimate watercolours and ink drawings.
Arpita Singh is an Indian artist. Arpita Singh was born in 1937 at Baranagar, India. She is figurative artist and a modernist. Her canvases have both a storyline and a carnival of images arranged in a curiously subversive manner


Serpentine—often referred to as the Serpentine Galleries—comprises two interconnected contemporary art spaces, Serpentine South and Serpentine North, in Kensington Gardens, central London. Located on either side of the Serpentine Bridge, a short walk from South Kensington and Lancaster Gate, the galleries present free, year‑round exhibitions, commissions and live events at the intersection of art, architecture, ecology and technology.
