Revati Sharma Singh born in _ in_, is an autodidact artist now based in London. She works with assemblages of ceramic, cast metal, hand made silver, tapestry, embroidery and paint.

Her journey began as a portrait artist 20 years ago. Since then her styles and techniques have developed constantly, from her earliest works featuring landscapes to the abstract and installation works of recent years. Central to her work, is an exploration of the nature of human society, and the ways in which people interact with each other.

After relocating to Mumbai from Singapore, she observed the stark differences between glistening apartment blocks of the city’s rich and the sprawling slums lining the roads below. That led her to use her art as a way to show the issues faced by India’s crowded and challenged society, and soon a critique of her homeland became a central theme in her work.

At the same time, she changed her medium, towards large-scale constructions and objects as a way to showcase her artworks. Her first installation work, How Long can you Stand it?, was an immersive piece targeting the issue of sanitation in Mumbai. Revati’s first solo show in India, with the exhibition ‘Between the Lines’, represents a thought-provoking reconceptualization on the ways in which communities are connected.

India Art Fair, 2015, she produced a cross-over between her painting and installation work, with an arresting piece entitled Misconnections. Combining the bold colour and thick brush strokes typical of her impressionist style with modern, functional iconography in hash-tags and ‘at’ symbols, Revati explored the paradox of modern communication – asking how, in a world constantly connected, we can become so disconnected.

In 2019 she exhibited her sculptural works, Grains of Antiquity with art&soul, casting grains in varied materials and stitched together to form maps of countries, cutouts and drawings are placed over each other using rice paper forming various planes of visual decoupages.

After the success of her of first ever show, held in the Raffles hotel in Singapore, she realised that she could use her art for common cause. Since then she has been donating a percentage of each of her paintings sold to charities based in Indian cities – most notably her contributions to the Magic Bus Foundation’s annual charity auctions. Her passion for creating art and challenging moral themes have seen her become a regular contributor to the LAPADA Fair, Saatchi’s Starata Art Fair, the Affordable Art Fair, London and Singapore, Masterpieces Art Fair, London, Art Monaco in Montecarlo amongst others. 2015’s Italia Docet | Laboratorium marked Sharma Singh’s first appearance at the Venice Biennale.

As an artist of conscience Revati Sharma Singh steps away from the borders of nations to weave in an inclusivity of existence based on simple human emotions that welcomes the diversities of race, sex and language.
