"East or West I the best " -he will say this when you meet him. If you do not know him yet then you will. His painting are hung in many countries, in sheikhs palaces, celebrity houses, or if you are really filthy rich.
How many times have you come across an artist who makes a painting while simultaneously riding a cycle backwards, levitate in the air or jump from a plane just to make a painting?
As absurd and crazy as he sounds, Gurmej Singh is one such artist who pushes his creativity infinitely. He tries to combine his zeal for adventure and passion for art in a unique and bold manner. He has discovered several new techniques of painting like Singhism, Singh Letterism, Centrism, Flowism, No-touch, Parallel Processing, and Stunt Art.
Born on April 9, in Punjab, India, he later moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates in 1981 and then to Emporia, Kansas in 1998.
Currently residing in both Dubai and United States. Still youthful and vigorous, Singh promises, "I am just getting started!"
"I have found my self working in all circumstances like levitating, burnt alive, buried alive, caged for several days, standing on 30 feet tall pole for three days, backward cycle riding, atop a bridge, on a tree, hanging upside down, walking a tight rope or jumping from a building in order to add difficulty to symbolize the struggle that needs to exist for culture and science to progress at higher level". He is a living proof that human mind can concentrate and process information in parallel tracks. He actively experiments with new styles and techniques. Whatever the case, originality is a primary focus. This is the spirit of his on going work. He is nothing other than a successful artist because, as he simply but definitively states, "this is my passion."
What really makes Artist Singh so dominant is the fact that he has mastered every concept of Art known to the world. So this very well justifies him saying "East or West I the best!"

Singh, Standing Upside down in Friday Magazine, really it is funny photo that prove to me everybody is storing something from his childhood which show elders still maintain innocence - Professor Hassan, in a letter to the artist -Dubai 23/3/2001
The man is just crazy- Western Michigan University student interview on tape while Artist Singh was levitating two feel in the air
-michigan He is not painting in closed studio door, he painting out there, show it off everyone
- James Galloway, Michigan
No, he is not trying to fool people, he truly is climbing to the top of the bridge that span the cotton wood river.....-Kim Holcomb, Emporia gazette, Kansas.
Singh is an unusual artist and constantly tries to push the edges of art- Jason Smith- bulletin, university in Kansas.
Singh can not stop being in the limelight. if he is not making a robot, he is cycling back wards or making or trying to make news with the worlds longest painting- by glen victor, The Gulf Today news paper
Jack of many trades- The Gulf Today
Artist Singh likes to cross genre boundaries in his work- paper in Kansas
Polite, mild-mannered and modest, this young man's head rests fully on his shoulders, and it is these traits-rather than his unusual and brilliant feats- which are becoming Singh legacy-by Rohini Bhatia "Friday magazine"
Physical energy by itself is not enough to perform such unusual feat. Huge spiritual and emotional power and high degree of inner self- discipline is required to prop one self for such acts- Dr. Punam Singh( in letter to the editor in Dubai)
He is the David Blaine of the Art word
-Adrienne B, Chicago ,IL
