Note: Sushila Singh was a painter, print maker and occasional ceramicist born in India in 1904. Her father, the Queen’s counsel Bawa Dhanwant Singh, retired to England to give Sushila the advantage of an education not yet available to girls in India.
Sushila’s early works were surrealist in nature, with her later work becoming more abstract, yet retaining a dreamlike quality. Sushila held solo exhibitions at the John Whibley Gallery, Exeter College, Oxford, Grabowski and Heal’s Gallery, Mansard Galleries and Galerie Niklaus Knoll, Basel, Switzerland.
Sushila Singh and Arthur Henry Andrews met whilst students at Hornsey School of Art and latterly Royal College of Art under William Rothenstein, where they graduated in 1929. The pair were married in 1930.
Singh and Andrews’ works are held in public collections such as the Atkinson Art Gallery, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and the Paintings in Hospitals Scheme, as well as private collections around the world.
