Renowned Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah joined as a special guest for the artist walkthrough of Where Is Jennifer?, a solo exhibition by Aditiya Singh at Method Kala Ghoda. His presence added a thoughtful dimension to the evening as he engaged with the artist’s practice and the conceptual framework of the exhibition, offering reflections on the intersections of art, performance, and human emotion.
About the show – Where is Jennifer?, a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Aditiya Singh, now on view until 28th December at Method Kala Ghoda. This evocative body of work unfolds through acrylic, ink, and watercolour compositions that navigate the thin line between presence and absence, identity and illusion.
Is she in the acrylic, ink and watercolour of his paintings? Or in the grotesque imitations of her personage? Is she an idea, unravelled, multiplied and dissolved? Or a distorted echo, an almost haunted replica, of the one she claims to be.
Where is Jennifer is a show that presents the absurdity that can grow from failure. It’s one boy’s incessant need to capture Jennifer Aniston’s luminary presence on paper, time and time again, each attempt marked by distortion and malformation.
To Aditiya Singh, this failure is not a flaw. His practice emerges intuitively, propelled not by formal obedience but by a restless inner instinct. Through pareidolia, he excavates figures from chance textures and chaotic marks, pulling faces and forms out of surfaces that were never meant to hold them. What we see is less a depiction and more an apparition.
Painting for Aditiya is an act of compulsion, a nighttime ritual carried out in the solitude of his room. The canvases become containers for the overflow of his mind, its noise, its intensity, its humour, its dream logic captured indefinitely on them. Colour functions here not as description but as emotion in motion, shifting according to whatever pulses through him at the moment of creation. The works resist resolution; they remain open, raw, and unfiltered, refusing a single meaning or tidy narrative.
Aditiya moves between conventional and unconventional techniques, across mediums, driven by a desire to unmask unsaid human emotion.
Ultimately, Where is Jennifer is about the freedom born of failure, the humour of obsession, and the transformative power of seeing not what is there, but what insists on being found.
About the Artist — Aditiya Singh
Aditiya Singh (b. Mumbai) is a contemporary artist whose practice traverses painting, mixed media, and experimental collaborations across visual and performing arts. A graduate of the Rachna Sansad Academy of Fine Arts, Mumbai (2017), he works primarily with acrylic, ink, watercolour, and mixed media, combining conventional and unconventional techniques to reveal the complexity of human emotion.
His work has been exhibited at leading venues such as the Jehangir Art Gallery, Prince of Wales Museum, Tao Art Gallery, and the International Art Festival in Jaipur. Aditiya’s first solo at Jehangir Art Gallery was inaugurated by Amitabh Bachchan, Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan — a moment that marked his early recognition within the Indian art scene.
Beyond the canvas, Aditiya’s art has found resonance in film, music, and public art initiatives. He has created artworks for feature films such as On the Blue Canvas and Autohead, both selected for international film festivals including Sitges, Hong Kong, and Berlin. His collaborations include album art for Lifafa’s Superpower 2020 and visual work for Peter Cat Recording Co. and other contemporary musicians.
Committed to art as a form of social engagement, Aditiya has taught with Teach for India and Saturday Art Class, sharing his creative practice with underprivileged children.
Through his emotionally charged imagery and layered visual language, Aditiya seeks to unmask the unsaid — tracing the inner lives and invisible feelings that define the human experience.
