Ayesha Singh (b. 1990, New Delhi, India) is an artist whose practice investigates built architecture as a site where power, politics, identity, and memory intersect. She considers architectural spaces as embedded within nation-building, migration, and displacement, while also functioning as loci of aspiration, desire, and belief. Through research-driven, participatory interventions, Singh unpacks processes of alteration and erasure enacted through construction, restoration, and destruction. Her practice spans sculpture, video, participatory performance, kinetic works, scaffold-based public installations, sculptural line drawings, and graphite on paper.

Singh received her MFA in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her BFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London. She has exhibited internationally at institutions and major platforms including the Singapore Biennale (2025), Sculpture by the Sea, Sydney (2024), NMACC, Mumbai (2024), Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi (2023), The Wolfsonian, Miami (2023), Van Gogh House, London (2022–2023), Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (2021), Palazzo Madama, Turin (2021), Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2017), and Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago (2017).

Her work is held in public collections including the Cincinnati Art Museum, Burger Collection, Hong Kong, MAP Bengaluru, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and Kiran Nadar Museum of Art and The Partition Museum, New Delhi. Awards and residencies include the Lui Shimming Art Foundation Grant (2024), Cross-Hatchings Residency (PICA & Khoj, 2023), Van Gogh House Residency (2022), and Emerging Artist of the Year, India Today (2020). Nature Morte has presented two solo exhibitions of her works—Within Contradiction (2021) and Monumental Turns (2023)—with a third scheduled for 2026.

She currently lives and works in New Delhi, India.
