Blind Man's Profession

Ebenezer Sunder Singh
2005

Texts: Nancy Adajania


“A solitary male figure bearing the rigour of spiritual discipline tonsured of mundane superfluities regarding name and location inhabits the space of Ebenezer Sunder Singh’s paintings. And yet, the figure isn’t a detached archetypal motif, but a projection of the artist’s embodied self. Ebenezer uses his own body as a measure of his expression, allowing it to soar only to be grounded by its reflection: embracing a cosmic totality only to be cut by the swirling swathe of death.”
