With this newest curation, they bring you an artist who is no novice! Ghanshyam Gupta has been a celebrated part of the art world for over 3 decades and continues to amaze and reel in audiences from across the globe. Known for larger-than-life works that are often puzzling, Gupta is a master of optical art who pushes the limitations of human perception.
His abstract masterpieces beckon you into a world where colours pirouette and shapes entwine in an intricate dance. Gupta's vibrant canvases pulse with life, using a playful palette of vivid hues, drawing you into their optical magic. Within his works, concentric circles and geometric symphonies seem to breathe and sway, a testament to his mastery. Unlike the visual intensity found in the works of celebrated pioneers, Gupta's art radiates a serene and poised elegance that leaves a lasting impression.
These pieces propel the audience to step into the realm of imagination or the qualitative unknown that feeds creativity, innovation, and inspiration. This realm that exists is simply the ether. It is unseen but surely felt. It is where the elements of the universe interact, react, and create life as we know it. The show — The Optical Odyssey — throws light upon these unseen interactions among even the tiniest atoms and their glorious impact upon the world.
Through his pieces on display, the artist attempts to create a dialogue between the audience and their own unique perceptions and make them aware of the cosmic interactions all around them. He does so by using a vivid colour palette, the principles of sacred geometry, moiré patterns, and repetition to create an experience that is transportive.
The superimposing of two patterns creates depth & dimension, the contrasting hues piquing your interest, repeating threadbare linework and concentric circles, and the use of spheres to create the illusion of movement.
In the tradition of visionaries who've explored visual mystique, Gupta's art challenges your perception. His creations are not mere observations but mysteries waiting to be unravelled, an invitation to traverse your own interpretations.
“The artist attempts to create a dialogue between the audience and their own unique perceptions. A mesmerizing exploration of colour and illusion, the show is a symphony for the eyes, transcending the boundaries of traditional art, offering viewers a unique experience that lingers in the mind long after you have looked away.” says curator Jalpa H Vithalani.
