Kulpreet Singh, (born 11 February 1985) is a Punjab-based visual artist specializing in drawing, painting, installation, and conceptual art. Kulpreet attended the Punjabi University, did his graduation and masters in fine arts.[1][2][3]
His notable works include Indelible Black Marks (2021)l and Indelible Black Marks ll was inspired by global unrest. In this work, He emphasizes that violence is not a solution and that democracy depends on mutual respect between government agencies and the public. When protests turn violent—marked by stones, sticks, and weapons—lasting scars are left on the delicate fabric of life and human memory, enduring for generations. Singh asks, "Can we choose better? Can we opt for resolutions that do not mar and scar life?" As a thoughtful artist and thinker, he uses his art to provoke new perspectives through a unique and [4] powerful artistic experience.[5] Long live the chair is another notable work by Kulpreet Singh.[6][7][8]
