The George Mackie Library is showcasing the art of Jarnail Singh, an artist recognized in 2008 by the City of Surrey as one of their Civic Treasures. Enjoy viewing a selection of his paintings of people and landscapes from March 1 – April 30.
“Painting for me is a process of infinite happiness and joy. It is impossible to describe this process. There is a mixture of feelings, imagination, craft, and many more elements that cannot be defined or explained. Painting for me is meditation. Painting for me is prayer. I paint whatever inspires or touches me. It can be a tiny flower, an awe-inspiring mountain or a stream. It can be a face in a crowd that impresses me with its beauty and innocence, or it can be a story of ancient times; they are all part of my paintings. People often ask me what I paint, and I reply, I paint everything, people, portraits, landscapes, anything that touches me, inspires me. Painting is my interpretation of these,” says Jarnail Singh.
