Artist Feature
Kanwar Singh
Kanwar Singh is globally recognized as a painter of Sikh history with artwork exhibited in prominent public spaces such as the Virasat-e-Khalsa museum in Punjab India, as well as the Without Shape Without Form gallery in London U.K, which was created in 2017 to exclusively house his extensive collection of paintings. His work focuses on the legacy of spiritual devotion and self-sacrifice spanning the lives of the ten Gurus and iconic Sikh heroes inspired by their deep connection to Waheguru (God).
He captures quintessential historical moments, which over centuries have forged a dynamic Sikh community through its humble origins in Punjab, to its present political and spiritual standing as the world’s fifth largest religion. The artist continues to build a legacy of work which gives Sikh history a prominent place on the walls of our homes and in the hearts of future generations.
Journey of the Mind
A community-focused arts organisation presents this incredible new travelling art exhibition featuring figurative drawings and paintings by world-renowned Sikh artist Kanwar Singh and text panels. The exhibition explores the stories of those who historically attained the religion’s highest spiritual levels. Through their stories, visitors can discover and take part in the spiritual journey of the mind, gaining a greater awareness of alternative approaches to thinking and understanding the mind for inner growth and clarity. The aim is to use the arts as a vehicle through which to explore the relationship between spirituality and Sikh heritage, from the religion’s 550-year-old history.
