Neetu Singhal’s pieces, moving through painting, metalwork and sculpture, reflect a strong sense of evolution. Coming from a background in neuroscience, Singhal argues that the structure of the world can be reduced to the two fundamental forms of the line and the dot. Staying within the bounds of these two elements, she explores different media to find the right outlets for her understanding of human consciousness, metaphysical energy and the occult. Although she works primarily in two dimensions, Singhal's goal in artmaking is "creating an alive complete energy system as... one piece of art." Singhal’s play with time and scale — a 60-foot painting installation, a 150-pound metal canvas, tiny beads of bronze that oxidize as they age — reflects the spirituality with which she approaches her practice.
