Art exhibitions
Amrit Pal’s first solo art show, Toy Face Tour, was held at Chattarpur Farms, in Delhi, in 2023.[7] It featured toy face artwork of pop culture icons such as Frida Kahlo, Charlie Chaplin, and Godfather. According to Singh, his series is based on nostalgia of his being impressed & inspired by iconic artists of his childhood. The show was held in an official association with MF Husain Estate. This tour marked the completion of Singh’s 100th NFT,[8] modeled on the late MF Husain whom Amrit Pal considers his inspiration for getting into the art field. In July 2023, Singh took his Toy Face tour to Bengaluru.[9] The artwork was displayed in a resto-bar Church Street Social from July 7 to 23. Among the newly added Toy Faces, Pal designed a portrait modeled on Amrita Sher Gill whom he considers an inspiration for his creations.[10]
