Biography

Kuldeep Singh is an interdisciplinary artist creating a hybrid system of fragmented narratives in paintings and immersive performances. Which seek inquiries in relating queer male bodies to an ecofeminist paradigm, through a decolonial perspective. Through his decade-long intensive training in the Indian classical dance form of Odissi, with critically acclaimed exponent Madhavi Mudgal in New Delhi, he brings an array of re-invented elements from its compound expression. He is the recipient of the competitive New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship and the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation grant. His recent shows have been with galerie Perrotin, NY and Chemould Prescott Road gallery in Mumbai. His paintings have been selected for Brooklyn Musuem, NY and National Musuem of Norway in Oslo.

Kuldeep has taught at Delhi University (New Delhi), University of Iowa, (Iowa City). And has been an invited guest critic at NYU (New York) and Rhode Island School of Design (MA).
