Diego Singh (b. 1982, Salta, Argentina) is an Argentine painter who lives and works in Miami Beach. His paintings are built from layers of oil and acrylic often developed over years, applied by rubbing pigment directly onto canvas, using craft brushes with conjoined bristles for delicate striations, and spraying paint with make-up airbrush guns to create dense yet diffused lines of color. Following what he calls an "ad-lib approach to painting," he lets apparitions and silhouettes emerge from veils of mark and gesture, creating a push and pull between disappearance and visibility, abstraction and figuration that captures a queer experience of obscuring and exposing the self. He has exhibited at ICA Miami, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Pérez Art Museum Miami, Mendes Wood DM, Tomio Koyama Gallery and Various Small Fires, and received Knight Foundation awards in 2015 and 2019. He is represented by Luhring Augustine.
