In the making of FACES by
Milenko Prvacki
Rajinder Jit Singh paints
close up “faces” of his
personal acquaintances and
personal idols from his
environment, which he likes

Artist Statement for Rajinder Singh

Artist statement – Rajinder Singh
My art practice has always been based on the wonder of the abstract codification of pure thought we call mathematics. I am motivated by the aesthetics of elegant mathematics now in my art as I was as a mathematician in my past. On the other hand I nurture a skeptical viewpoint on the role mathematics play as the inevitable language of choice of science and its prevalence in our lives. My art practice lies within this dialectic – in the contradiction between my two conflicting viewpoints, adopted as the determining factor in their continuing interaction.
In my FACES collection, I confront this dialectic. I engage with my experience of the aesthetics in high level mathematics to paint faces of women that stand prominent in my visual history in the hope to question the ideas that correlate the two and the ramifications that might emanate from any tangible success in such an endeavor.
The FACES collection was launched in France in June 2007. They are paintings of faces of women who have exerted a strong influence in my life. Wife, sister, actresses, radio jock, author etc..what is in their faces that make them such strong women? What is it that they share in the shape of their eyes, their lips, their noses? Each face is painted using only numbers and mathematical equations. I ask the question: what is the numerical equivalent of lovely?
