Rajinder Singh

Rajinder Singh was born in Ipoh, Malaysia and lives and works in Dublin, Ireland. Rajinder makes paintings and installations, as well as photography, video and performance work. He explores ideas of the vulnerable body and its pain, interrogating the economies of power that deny it space and shape. Often focused on the power of ritual action in the construction of the social body, his practice explores the ways the human body unfolds around various topographic and symbolic borders. Rajinder graduated with a PhD in Engineering (UK) in 1993 and a Masters in Fine Arts (Singapore) in 2010. In 2020 he showed at the Linenhall Art Centre, Mayo, the Courthouse Gallery, Clare and at the Kilkenny Arts Festival. In 2019, Rajinder was a recipient of the Artist-in-Community Award from Create and Fire Station Artist Studios. He teaches as a guest artist at NUI Maynooth and University College Dublin.
