- What about regarding the "originality" of your work?
This does not offend me as I believe everyone is entitled to there own opinion. I am credited with notion that I copy Pollack. However, to be fair, I never claimed to be original, I said and meant that it was a new approach. Now you be the judge below are the pictures--of my work and the work of the famous Pollack.

Pollock's work.

VS
Jackson Pollacks paintings are abstract. I am claiming that I developed this technique to another level where you can actually paint a picture or a portrait (see my first portrait of "Gandhi "that I made many years ago using this approach and compare with Pollacks abstract drip painting, this will give you an idea what i am really talking about)
2. Many people said that your work was of Pollock's origins and therefore was a used method of painting. what do you have to say?

| drip Painting by artist Singh |
Yes I admit , I was inspired by Pollock to create drip painting, but there is a huge difference between how I paint a picture and how Pollock paints a picture. In the end, best way for me to describe this is by saying that it would wrong to say that impressionists copied realists. This is one of my early works, portrait of "Gandhi" painted in 2000. It took me good 12 year of practice and hard work to be able to paint like this, simply by throwing paint.
3. what is Art to you ?
Art means everything to me. I see art everywhere and in all circumtances I find myself in. I am not only into drip painting, I do all kinds of art. Specially the one that is challenging . I really like the revolutionary ideas. I will go a head and try it even if it did not make good art (for some). Art has provided me with means for the spirit of freedom. And this freedom helps me find my identity as a person. I want to put enough effort into the projects I do to increase my own potential as an artist. I have put many hours simply challenging myself. It symbolizes the struggle that needs to exist for Art to progress at higher levels.
below is the worlds largest drip painting. Enjoy!
