Jatinder Singh Durhailay (b. 1988, London, United Kingdom) received a Bachelor of the Arts from the University of Arts London in 2011 and has been working as a painter ever since. His artistic practice spans painting and drawing, with a particular interest in naturally derived pigments, as well as Indian classical music. Blending myths and contemporary culture, Durhailay’s portrayal of the Sikh community and culture is humorous, heroic and poignant. He paints intricate and observant portraits and sceneries in the style of Indian Mughal miniature painting — spanning painterly subjects from environmentalism to Bruce Lee, moving fluidly between traditional tropes and an ever-changing complex present. His works are part of renowned private collections, such as the collection of Davinder Toor, Sir Richard Heaton and Runjeet Singh, as well as museums like the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Canada, and the Museum of Art and Photography in Bangalore, India. He has exhibited at The Artist Room (London, 2022-23), Home Gallery (London 2022), Nidi Gallery (Tokyo, 2019). Jatinder is based in London, United Kingdom.
