Biography
Umendra Pratap Singh is a Lucknow-based painter. A Times of India report on Art Odyssey at Kala Srot, Lucknow (20–25 Dec 2025) identifies his use of acrylic colour and describes his paintings as evoking life in ancient civilisations, with attention to clothing, festivals, rituals, and cultural activity. A later Times of India report on Beyond the Frames at Kala Srot, Lucknow (Sep 2026) describes his approach as existential realism.
A 2015 Telegraph India report identifies him as a local artist in Patna and notes his role guiding students in varied art forms. The CCRT 2021–22 junior fellowship list includes him under Visual Art/Painting with the project title अवशेष (Remains); this page records that listing only and does not treat it as an award.
