Revati Sharma Singh (b. 1973) lives and works in London, UK. Her work explores human transitions and the complexities of contemporary society. Raised in Himachal Pradesh, she often employs the motif of grains, symbolizing the loss of seeds once collected for future harvests. This recurring theme reflects the changes and disruptions that shape our lives, grounding her practice in cultural memory. As a self-taught artist, she works across a wide range of media, including ceramic, cast metal, tapestry, and embroidery, blending traditional and contemporary elements.

Her artistic journey began over 20 years ago with portraiture before evolving into large-scale constructions and installations. Her experience relocating from Singapore to Mumbai prompted her to examine social disparities, particularly the contrasts between affluent high-rises and the city’s slums. This led her to use art as a means of social critique, with her first installation, How Long Can You Stand It?, addressing sanitation challenges in Mumbai. Her solo exhibition Between the Lines explored community connections, while her piece Misconnections at the India Art Fair (2015) questioned the paradox of communication in an age of constant connectivity. In 2019, Grains of Antiquity featured sculptural works using grains to create complex visual maps.

​

Revati’s work has been featured at prestigious art fairs, including Saatchi’s Start Art Fair and the Affordable Art Fair in London and Singapore. In 2015, she made her debut at the Venice Biennale with Italia Docet | Laboratorium. Beyond her artistic practice, she donates a portion of her sales to Indian charities such as the Magic Bus Foundation.
