Where is Jennifer?

A solo show by Aditiya Singh

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.
