The Brook

By Jarnail Singh
Oil on canvas
30” x 40”
2013
  
About the Artist: The artist who painted this piece is Jarnail Singh. He was born in 1956 in India. He has been active as a freelance artist for the last 35 years and he developed an interest in art in childhood. After having a successful career in India he moved to Canada in 2000. He had a solo show called “Jarnail Singh – Discovering the soul of Punjab” at Surrey Art Gallery in 2004 and was a featured artist at Harrison Arts Festival 2005 at Harrison Hot Springs.
 
Artist Statement: I strive to create images of everlasting beauty. It is a humble effort to capture on canvas the beauty and grandeur of everyday life and bountiful nature; so that it gives joy and inner piece to viewers and instills in them a sense of gratitude for the gift of life and for nature’s never ending generosity. I can paint forever the beauty of nature and the simplicity and innocence of native and indigenous cultures, which ultimately will be consumed by soulless consumerist culture in this fast changing world.
 
Background Info: This piece was in the Landscapes of the mind exhibition at the Agora Gallery in New York last year. It was one of four pieces that he had in the show.
 
Connection to Theme: It connects to our theme because it was actually in a real landscapes of the mind exhibition and also it is just his own personal landscape of the mind.
