Watermans is delighted to host an extensive collection of miniature paintings by London born artists and twin sisters Amrit and Rabindra Kaur Singh, considered ‘amongst the freshest of the new British artists’ (The Daily Telegraph).

Whilst drawing essentially on the Indian miniature tradition, their award winning paintings combine elements from Western and Eastern aesthetics to create a unique genre within British Art practice which challenges existing stereotypes in Contemporary art and seeks to redefine generally accepted, narrow perceptions of heritage and identity - exploring cultural, social and political issues of global significance within a highly decorative, often witty and symbolic style which has universal appeal and transcends cultural barriers.

Their work is in private as well as public collections including Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art, National Museums & Galleries on Merseyside, The New Gallery Walsall and Royal Museums of Scotland. They have attracted international media attention including a Granada TV documentary profile. More recent Arts Council commissioned film about their work, ‘Alone Together' won 'The Best Film On Art' prize at the Asolo International Film Festival of Art Films 2001. In addition they were short-listed for the Asian Women of Achievement Awards 2001 (in the category of Arts & Culture).
