Dayanita Singh, whose solo show Dream Villa is at Frith Street Gallery until mid-December, only recently chose black-and-white photography as her medium of choice and portraits of Indian socialites as her subject. This new exhibition sees Singh, born in India in 1961, progressing away from explicit depictions of Dehli's complex social system towards ethereal, full-colour prints of carefully lit night-time landscapes. This is nature tamed by society and in these suburban vistas, snippets of gardens, streetlamps and telegraph poles contrast the artificial halogen colours and hard lines of human intervention with the soft shapes of the green and brown landscape beneath.
