Amrita Singhal: Hello, Moon

Kala Gallery is excited to present Amrita Singhal: Hello, Moon in Mercy and Roger Smullen Print & Media Study Center.

Singhal grew up in India, surrounded by a natural landscape and shaped by mythology, ritual, and layered systems of belief that continue to inform her work. Her practice moves between discipline and intuition, with paintings developing over time through cycles of building, undoing, and reworking color and form. Singhal is attracted to the physicality of paint and uses color to explore nature, inner experience, and human complexity, with figures emerging intuitively and reflecting multiple identities. Drawing from art history, music, literature and ancient cultures, she creates work that holds the poetic, inchoate, and unresolved.

Amrita Singhal is a Berkeley-based painter and mixed media artist. Her work is held by the UC Berkeley Art Museum, she has created a Berkeley Public Works Art mural for Meyer Sound, and regularly exhibits in solo and group shows. Currently, she is also creating a series of immersive works in virtual reality.
